NASA releases color video of Curiosity’s dramatic descent
After having successfully landed on the Mars yesterday, NASA’s Curiosity rover has now begun transmitting images taken during its dramatic descent. The craft’s onboard Mars Descent Imager (MARDI) captured a total of 1,054 images during Curiosity’s landing, 297 of which were beamed back to Earth on Monday. These early color photos are of low resolution, though when sharpened and combined with the remaining images, they should provide a more fluid depiction of Curiosity’s entry and descent into Gale Crater.
