Curiosity Blog, Sols 4886-4892: Ingenuity and Perseverance, Curiosity Style

"While we know the monikers Ingenuity and Perseverance are attached to our sister helicopter and rover on the Mars 2020 mission, those characteristics were in full force with Curiosity over the past week."

Memories from Februaries spent in the #Atacama desert. Team members would take nights off to recover from the heat and do laundry in town, pick up supplies at the hardware store.

Often we had to get those foil-faced windshield covers to protect computers that would overheat in the sun.

Driving through that otherworldly #landscape was exhilarating.

The #Atacama #Desert in #Chile has the world's highest elevation geysers and endless salt flats. #Laguna Tebinquinche is our favorite lagoon with turquoise water and white salt crystal outcrops.
