Paul HammondA new workspace for Curiosity Rover after a drive during mission Sol 4523 (April 27, 2025). For scale the workspace is close to 2 meters wide. The mosaic of the workspace is assembled from 15 overlapping deBayered L-MastCam frames using MS-ICE. The drive data / stats and a screen capture of the mission map are also attached.
