Curiosity Rover's Location for Sol 2780

June 01, 2020

This map shows the route driven by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity through the 2780 Martian day, or sol, of the rover's mission on Mars (June 1, 2020).

Numbering of the dots along the line indicate the sol number of each drive. North is up. From Sol 2747 to Sol 2780, Curiosity had driven a straight line distance of about 119.44 feet (36.41 meters). Since touching down in Bradbury Landing in August 2012, Curiosity has driven 13.75 miles (22.13 kilometers).

The base image from the map is from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment Camera (HiRISE) in NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
