Curiosity transmits its first full-resolution photo from Mars

It has been three days since the successful landing of Curiosity on Mars. Following the successful transmission of a color photo yesterday, today it has taken even higher quality full-resolution photos. When pieced together with yesterday's photos, they truly show the current environment on Mars. A careful look at the lower part of the photo can even reveal the edge components of Curiosity.

This picture was taken by the navigation camera carried by Curiosity. The navigation camera is a pair of stereoscopic cameras that can move 45 degrees up and down, playing an important role in future scientific exploration. NASA is actively working to ensure that the navigation camera is not damaged according to the unevenness of the Martian surface.

Curiosity was launched in November 2011 and, after eight months of flight, arrived at Mars, landing inside the Gale Crater south of the Martian equator today. Equipped with ten scientific instruments and one sample acquisition, processing, and delivery system, various instruments will work together to conduct remote sensing studies and on-site measurements of potential sampling targets. Curiosity will use relevant equipment to obtain rock, soil, and atmospheric samples and analyze them using onboard analytical instruments. In addition, this Mars rover will also observe and study the surrounding environment.
