Pfupisa nyaya yacho:  Kwenguva yokutanga gore rino, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter yeNASA yakaona shamwari yayo yerobhoti iri pamusoro penyika tsvuku. Chikepe chomuchadenga chakatenderera chakatora mufananidzo weCuriosity pedyo nechepasi peGomo reSharp muGale Crater. Asi zvinonakidza ndezvokuti, zvisaririra zvemuchina wacho hazvioneki - zvichida nokuti zvakaputirwa nemamiriro okunze eMars. Kamera yeHiRise inokwanisa kutora mifananidzo yepasi ine resolution ye10 inches (25cm) pa pixel, ichibvumira kuti ione rover pamusoro. Rinooneka pano mumufananidzo wakazara, rakakomberedzwa. Mudziyo wacho wakamira pamusoro pejecha rakasviba mumupata une matombo ane ruvara rwakajeka. Mufananidzo wacho wakatorwa uchishandisa kamera yeHigh-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRise) iri pasatellite yeMars, iri pamusoro pemakiromita 300 pamusoro penyika. Inokurumidza kufamba masendimita 3,8 pasekondi. Curiosity ndiyo rover yechina kushanyira Mars. Zvakatora anenge maminiti manomwe kuti igomira paPuraneti Dzvuku. Muchina wacho une makamera 17. Inorema zvakaenzana ne Mini Cooper pa 900kg (2,000lbs). Masayendisiti akarangarira nzvimbo 60 dzinobvira dzokumhara asati asarudza Gale Crater. Aka hakasi kokutanga kuona Curiosity, kana kuti zvimwe zvengarava, pamusoro penyika - asi kokutanga muna 2015. Kamera yeHiRise inokwanisa kutora mifananidzo yepasi ine resolution ye10 inches (25cm) pa pixel, ichibvumira kuti ione Curiosity, iyo yakakura semotokari. Mumufananidzo uyu rover yakamiswa pamusoro pejecha rakasviba mumupata une matombo ane ruvara rwakajeka. Matombo aya chikamu chePahrump Hills muMurray Formation, iyo inzvimbo yematombo ejecha, matombo ejecha uye calcium sulphate mitsinga pamusoro. Idzo ndidzo matombo akaderera zvikuru ari pachena eMount Sharp - anozivikanwawo seAeolis Mons - iyo NASA iri kuronga kutumira Curiosity kumusoro pane imwe nguva. Mumufananidzo uyu rover yakanga ichangopedza kufamba kwemamita 23 pazuva rayo rechi949 paMars - rinozivikanwawo se sol. Kuchamhembe kuri kumusoro mumufananidzo, nechitarisiko chose chinotambanuka pamusoro pe...
Masayendisiti eNasa muCalifornia akazivisa mufananidzo uri kure weCuriosity wakatorwa neMars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Yakatorwa kubva pakakwirira kwemakiromita 300, ichiratidza uko rover iri kuenda. Chimwe chinhu chinonakidza ndechokuti tsoka dzomudungwe wacho hadzioneki dziri shure kwaro mumufananidzo wacho. Izvi zvingava nemhaka yemamiriro okunze eMars kana kuti mavara avo akafanana neepasi rakapoteredza.
