Mars360: Curiosity Rover's Self Portrait at "Buckskin" Drilling Site (360video 8K)

This panorama combines 92 exposures taken by the rover's Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) during the Sol 1065 of Curiosity's work on Mars (August 4, 2015).

Curiosity Rover have reached milestone 3 years on Mars! As of today, Sol 1065, August 4, 2015, Curiosity has driven some 11 kilometers and taken over 256,000 amazing images.

The rover's robotic arm is not visible in the mosaic. MAHLI, which took the component images for this mosaic, is mounted on a turret at the end of the arm. Wrist motions and turret rotations on the arm allowed MAHLI to acquire the mosaic's component images. The arm was positioned out of the shot in the images or portions of images used in the mosaic.
