This raw image of "Tintina," a broken rock fragment in a rover wheel track, was taken by Curiosity's Mast Camera (Mastcam).
Rock "Tintina" Exposes "Yellowknife Bay" Vein Material
On this image of the rock target "Knorr," color coding maps the amount of mineral hydration indicated by a ratio of near-infrared reflectance intensities measured by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity.
Hydration Map, Based on Mastcam Spectra, for 'Knorr' Rock Target
At different locations on the surface of the same rock, scientists can use the Mast Camera (Mastcam) on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity to measure the amount of reflected light at a series of different wavelengths.
Indication of Hydration in Veins and Nodules of 'Knorr' in 'Yellowknife Bay'
Light-toned nodules and veins are visible in this image from NASA's Mars rover Curiosity of a patch of sedimentary rock called "Knorr."
Veins and Nodules at 'Knorr' Target in 'Yellowknife Bay' of Gale Crater
Researchers have used the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) instrument on the robotic arm of NASA's Mars rover Curiosity to determine elemental compositions of rock surfaces at several targets in the "Yellowknife Bay" area of Gale Crater.
Elemental Compositions of 'Yellowknife Bay' Rocks
The gray area in the center of this image is where the Dust Removal Tool on the robotic arm of NASA's Mars rover Curiosity brushed a rock target called "Wernecke."

This mosaic of images from the Mast Camera (Mastcam) on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity shows Mount Sharp in raw color as recorded by the camera.
Mount Sharp Panorama in Raw Colors
This mosaic of images from the Mast Camera (Mastcam) on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity shows Mount Sharp in a white-balanced color adjustment that makes the sky look overly blue but shows the terrain as if under Earth-like lighting.

NASA's Curiosity rover has detected the simple carbon-containing compounds chloro- and dichloromethane from the powdered rock sample extracted from the "John Klein" rock on Mars.
Chlorinated Forms of Methane at "John Klein" Site
An analysis of a drilled rock sample from NASA's Curiosity rover shows the presence of water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide released on heating. The results analyzing the high temperature water release are consistent with smectite clay minerals.
Major Gases Released from Drilled Samples of the "John Klein" Rock
This set of images shows the results from the rock abrasion tool from NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity (left) and the drill from NASA's Curiosity rover (right).
Studying Habitability in Ancient Martian Environments
This set of images compares rocks seen by NASA's Opportunity rover and Curiosity rover at two different parts of Mars.
Two Different Aqueous Environments
This false-color map shows the area within Gale Crater on Mars, where NASA's Curiosity rover landed on Aug. 5, 2012 PDT (Aug. 6, 2012 EDT) and the location where Curiosity collected its first drilled sample at the "John Klein" rock.
Location of John Klein Drill Site
This set of images shows a modern terrestrial analog to the "Yellowknife Bay" area that NASA's Curiosity rover is exploring.

This figure shows the location of CHIMRA on the turret of NASA's Curiosity rover, together with a cutaway view of the device.
Preparing Samples on Mars
The development of the Mars rover Curiosity's capabilities for drilling into a rock on Mars required years of development work.
Preparation on Earth for Drilling on Mars
This set of images from Mars shows the handiwork of different tools on three missions to the surface of Mars.
Different Tools for Different Purposes on Mars
These schematic drawings show a top view and a cutaway view of a section of the drill on NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars.
