Seeing clouds from the surface of #Mars will never get old.
The #Curiosity rover spotted these on Sol 3063 at dusk over a rock outcrop named Mont Mercou.
They are likely made of carbon dioxide and at an altitude of over 60km, which is much higher than typical for Mars.

Congrats to Curiosity and her entire team who are celebrating the 11th ladiversary today! 🥳
I used the occasion to reprocess the first of many amazing rover selfies which was taken on Sol 84.

#NASA’s #MSL #Curiosity #rover was sent to #Mars aboard a #ULA #Atlas V #rocket in its 541 configuration. This meant that the rocket flew with a 5 meter diameter fairing, 4 solid rocket boosters, and a single engine on its #Centaur upper stage.
In the 5 meter fairing version, the Centaur is encapsulated in the payload fairing along with the payload.
Painted on the fairing are the logos for the #AtlasProgram and the United Launch Alliance, as well as the #US flag and the serial number, AV-028.

#NASA’s #Mars #Science Laboratory #rover, #Curiosity, began its flight to Mars aboard a United Launch Alliance #Atlas V 541, with a 5 meter fairing, 4 SRBs, and 1 engine on its #Centaur upper stage.
Here, #ULA’s #AtlasV is carrying #MSL into the #cloudy #Florida #sky.

#SpaceSaturday: A #model of the #Mars #Science Laboratory #rover #Curiosity’s mast-mounted #instruments, including the #ChemCam wrapped in gold foil and the two #Mastcam #cameras.
The ChemCam can fire a laser that turns rock material to excited plasma, and observes the resulting spectrum to determine the rough chemical composition of the target.

When #NASA’s #MarsScienceLaboratory #MSL #rover #Curiosity left #Earth, it did so on top of a United Launch Alliance #ULA #AtlasV #rocket.
The #Atlas is stacked in a Vertical Integration Facility #VIF on top of its Mobile Launch Platform #MLP, which is then moved by locomotive to SLC-41 at #CapeCanaveral Air Force Station #CCAFS.

Beim Lions Club #Kiel gab es heute Abend einen Vortrag über die Mission #MarsScienceLaboratory und den #Curiosity-Rover. Ein Strahlenmessgerät dafür wurde in Kiel entwickelt und gebaut. Cool.
