Paul Hammond<p>Curiosity Rover in Gale crater: A drive of ~33 meters during Sol 4483 (March 17, 2025). The drive direction was southwest with a small detour to check out a rock formation, the rover climbed 2.2 meters during the ~59 minute drive. Post drive L-NavCam, the drive data extracted from JPL's waypoint JSON, and a couple of traverse maps (different scales).
