Sol 752: a "live" panorama of Mars from the hills of Parampa



As you know, the Curiosity rover does not stand still. Not long ago, the NASA special committee strictly recommended the rover team to use the rig more and less - the undercarriage, but the rover anyway rather quickly advanced to the ultimate goal of their journey (primary mission) - Mount Sharp.

This mountain is located in the very center of Gale's crater, and at its foot are the hills of Parampa, an outcrop of Mars rocks. Scientists, including geologists, are very interested in this region, since research in this place will help to understand the geological structure of the whole block, which forms a significant part of the foot of Mount Sharp.

The photographer Andrey Bodrov, who is already known to us, made the next panorama of the place where the rover was only a few days ago.



These are the hills of Paramp, which are of great interest to scientists. Well, we had the opportunity to explore the panorama of the region, made up of 136 images (habrapers does not allow embed code to be inserted). Traditionally, the width of the panorama is 30 thousand pixels.

Other panoramas of Mars, compiled by Andrei Bodrov:

Sol 739 (Martian solar day 739)
Sol 673 (Martian solar day 673)
Sol 647 (Martian solar day 647)
Sol 613 (Martian solar day 613)
Sol 541 (Martian solar day 541)
Sol 530 (Martian solar day 530)
Sol 437 (Martian solar day 437)
Sol 177 (NASA's Mars-rover Curiosity Self-portrait)
Sol 136-149 (First 4 billions panorama of Mars)
Sol 4 (First color panorama of Mars)
Sol 2 (First panorama of Mars by Curiosity rover)

And, traditionally, a NASA story about how “photo shooting” with a rover is obtained (each such post raises questions about how the rover takes pictures of himself):
