Curiosity's 32 Drill Holes

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has used the drill on its robotic arm to take 32 rock samples to date. The Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), a camera on the end of the robotic arm, provided the images in this mosaic.

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has used the drill on its robotic arm to take 32 rock samples to date. The Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), a camera on the end of the robotic arm, provided the images in this mosaic.

MAHLI was built by Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, California, manages the Curiosity rover for the NASA Science Mission Directorate in Washington. JPL designed and built Curiosity.

This picture shows a cross-sectional cartoon of a flat, sandy surface on top of a buried, undulating layer of sand and ice crystals. Above the surface, a cylindrical instrument aims a beam of neutrons into the ground at two different spots. Above the spot where the ice-rich layer is close to the surface is a cloud of dots representing neutrons escaping from the surface of Mars into the atmosphere. Above the ice-free layer is a much sparser scattering of neutrons escaping from the surface.
