This map shows the route driven by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover from the location where it landed in August 2012 to its location in mid-November 2015, approaching examples of dunes in the "Bagnold Dunes" dune field.

Orbital View of Dune That Curiosity Will Visit

This view taken from orbit around Mars shows the sand dune that will be the first to be visited by NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover along its route to higher layers of Mount Sharp.

Glimpse of 'Bagnold Dunes' Edging Mount Sharp

This March 27, 2015, view from the Mast Camera (Mastcam) on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover shows a site with a network of prominent mineral veins below a cap rock ridge on lower Mount Sharp.

Ophir Chasma forms the northern portion of the vast Mars canyon system Valles Marineris, and this image, acquired on Aug. 10, 2015, by the (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, features a small part of its wall and floor.

Round-Horizon Version of Curiosity's Low-Angle Selfie

at 'Buckskin'

Self-portrait of NASA's Curiosity Mars rover at a drilling site called "Buckskin" on lower Mount Sharp

This rocky panoramic scene is the second picture of the Martian surface that was taken by Viking Lander 2 shortly after touchdown

on Sept. 3, 1976 at 3:58 p.m. PDT (Earth received time).

The HiRISE camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter acquired this closeup image of a "fresh" (on a geological scale, though quite old on a human scale) impact crater in the Sirenum Fossae region of Mars on March 30, 2015. This impact crater appears relatively recent as it has a sharp rim and well-preserved ejecta.

This parachute testing for NASA's InSight mission to Mars was conducted inside the world's largest wind tunnel, at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California, in February 2015.

This view from the wide-angle Hazard Avoidance Camera (Hazcam) on the front of NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover shows the rover's drill in position for a mini-drill test to assess whether a rock target called "Mojave" is appropriate for full-depth drilling to collect a sample.

NASA's car-size space rover is the center piece of their $2.5 billion dollar Mars Mission. Curiosity's main goal is to assess whether the Red Planet and the capability of supporting microbial life.

Ten Kilometers and Counting, on Mars: NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used its Navigation Camera (Navcam) to capture this scene toward the west just after completing a drive that took the mission's total driving distance on Mars past 10 kilometers (6.214 miles).
