Thursday 23rd August Sol 17

The team has taken a break as Governor of California visits JPL to hear about MSL.  We also have the first wide angle images HazCam (Hazard Cameras at the front and back of Curiosity) to look at.  We have seen the tracks which show that Curiosity has shown that she can drive and manoeuvre. 

Our landing site is called Bradbury and after the famous science fiction author Ray Bradbury.
