The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Curiosity rover has traveled 30 km in Gale Crater on the Red Planet.

As reported by Ukrinform, reported press service apparatus (JPL).

The message reads, “I’ve reached a milestone that’s only been passed by Opportunity: 30km on Mars.”

Curiosity has already discovered a lot in its more than 10-year journey through Gale Crater, but there are still plenty of rocks to sample and analyze, he said.

Curiosity is a car-sized robotic rover that explores Mars and is part of NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory program. It was launched from Cape Canaveral on 26 November 2011 and reached Mars in 2012.

Another rover from NASA, Opportunity’s mission ran from 2004 to June 10, 2018. During this time, he covered a total of 45.16 km.

As reported by Ukrinform, data on the composition of its surface and material provided by the Chinese Mars rover Zhurong (Zhurong) confirms the presence of liquid water in the low latitudes of Mars, the hottest regions of the Red Planet.
