Postcards from Mars
Description
Postcards from Mars.
Curiosity delivers more pictures from the red planet, including what appears to be its rocket-powered backpack crash-landing in the distance.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) STEVE SELL, ENGINEER OF THE NASA JET PROPULSION LABORATORY, SAYING:
"We actually selected the rear Hazcam to be the first image taken. Actually, the timing of the Hazcam pictures both front and rear were timed so that we would possibly catch any kind of cloud like this. And the fact that the descent stage flew directly after the Rover was an amazing coincidence that we were able to catch this impact."
NASA believes the cloud revealed in the pictures may have been produced by the crash landing of Curiosity.
The very delivery of Curiosity to the surface of Mars already has been hailed by NASA as the greatest feat of robotic spaceflight.
Since then, the rover has been sending a string of images back to Earth.
