Summary

Description	English: PIA16718: Drill Bit Tip on Mars Rover Curiosity, Side View http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA16718 Target Name: Mars Mission: Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Spacecraft: Curiosity Instrument: Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) Product Size: 750 x 750 pixels (width x height) Produced By: LPGNantes Full-Res TIFF: PIA16718.tif (563.3 kB) Full-Res JPEG: PIA16718.jpg (32.42 kB) Click on the image above to download a moderately sized image in JPEG format (possibly reduced in size from original) Original Caption Released with Image: The shape of the tip of the bit in the drill of NASA's Mars rover Curiosity is apparent in this view recorded by the remote micro-imager in the rover's Chemistry and Camera instrument during the 172nd Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars (Jan. 29, 2012). The bit is about 0.6 inch (1.6 centimeters) wide. This view merges three exposures taken by the camera at different focus settings to show more of the hardware in focus than would be seen in a single exposure. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. JPL designed and built the rover. More information about Curiosity is online at http://www.nasa.gov/msl and http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/. Image Addition Date: 2013-02-04 Polski: Ostrze wiertła łazika Curiosity. Widok z boku. Na zdjęciu wykonanym przez mikro-Imager (aparat fotograficzny połączony z lunetą, przeznaczony do wykonywania zdjęć makro z odległości do 7.2 metra) instrumentu Chemcam łazika Curiosity, przestawione jest zbliżenie ostrza wiertła wiertarki udarowej urządzenia PADS. Zdjęcie wykonano w 172 marsjańskim dniu, lub Sol 172, pracy łazika Curiosity na Marsie (29 stycznia 2012). Szerokość ostrza wiertła ma 1,6 cm. Zdjęcie to powstało na skutek zlania trzech ekspozycji o różnych ustawieniach ostrości, tak aby pokazać większą głębię ostrości niż zapewnia to pojedyncza ekspozycja.
