Mars Science Laboratory (MSL)

December 7, 2020. SAM EDR data for sols 2714-2837 have been added to the SAM EDR safed data set.

December 4, 2020. MSL Release 25 includes new raw and derived data from sols 2714-2837, March 25 - July 30, 2020.

The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover, Curiosity, landed on Mars and began operations on August 6, 2012. On June 25, 2014, the rover marked one Mars year (687 Earth days) of operations on the surface.

Science data from Curiosity's suite of instruments is released by PDS three times a year.  See the complete release schedule below.
