An 8.5 years time-lapse video of Curiosity Rover Driving and Drilling on Mars and its location/position. From Martian Day (Sol) 16 to 3,071 (Aug 22, 2012 to March 27, 2021).
The video was made by using images and data provided by NASA.
Curiosity Rover is a car-sized Mars rover designed to explore the Gale crater on Mars in order to find out if the crater has ever offered favorable environmental conditions for microbial life, and perform planetary habitability studies in preparation for human exploration.
Curiosity was launched on November 26, 2011, from Cape Canaveral. Using a series of complicated landing maneuvers never before attempted, the rover landed on Mars on August 6, 2012, at Aeolis Palus, a plain between the northern wall of Gale crater and the northern foothills of Aeolis Mons.
The rover’s mission duration was supposed to be two years. But in December 2012, its mission was extended indefinitely.
The Curiosity rover is the most technologically advanced rover ever built before. It is equipped with 17 cameras and a robotic arm with a suite of specialized laboratory-like tools and instruments.

This is absolutely fantastic..... A vehicle on another planet taking pictures and roaming around. I'm old enough to think of this as very special....because it most certainly is.

Can't wait untill dragonfly on Titan! It's a bummer it probably won't launch u till 2027 and it takes 7 years to get there. But I plan to still be here, hopefully humanity doesn't blow themselves up by then.

I'm very sorry to hear. Did he have an interest in Mars?

Yep, Curiosity sure gets a lot of work done, one busy rover and it isn't done, not by a long shot, awesome job Curiosity.

8 1/2 years of images and I only saw 2 martians. Hardly worth the cost. 👽👽

Wow, I did not know NASA gives away so many images. I only hope they take more driving pictures with Perseverance so the driving time-lapses are smoother.
