Watch PBS' NOVA - Ultimate Mars Challenge as this is cutting edge transportation built for travel on another world. Literally! High-Resolution self-portrait by Curiosity rover arm camera ? On Oct. 31, 2012, NASA's Curiosity rover used the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) to capture this set of 55 high-resolution images, which were stitched together to create this full-color self-portrait. The mosaic shows the rover at "Rocknest," the spot in Gale Crater where the mission's first scoop sampling took place. Four scoop scars can be seen in the regolith in front of the rover.
