I'm Marissa Heinz I'm a Curiosity rover

planner and this is your Curiosity rover

3
00:00:13,249 --> 00:00:10,410
report today we're celebrating

4
00:00:14,570 --> 00:00:13,259
curiosity's second earthier on Mars that

5
00:00:17,599 --> 00:00:14,580
means that she's been on the surface

6
00:00:19,099 --> 00:00:17,609
more than 700 Martian days curiosity's

7
00:00:20,689 --> 00:00:19,109
first year was primarily focused on

8
00:00:22,099 --> 00:00:20,699
science mainly due to all of the

9
00:00:24,980 --> 00:00:22,109
interesting places that we found right

10
00:00:26,420 --> 00:00:24,990
around the area where we landed for the

11
00:00:29,630 --> 00:00:26,430
second year we've been much more focused

12
00:00:31,189 --> 00:00:29,640
on driving she has about three

13
00:00:33,650 --> 00:00:31,199
kilometers to go before we reach the

14
00:00:35,569 --> 00:00:33,660
base of Mount sharp the team has

15
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:35,579
carefully selected a path through a

16
00:00:39,530 --> 00:00:37,770
series of sand filled canyons along the

17
00:00:41,569 --> 00:00:39,540
way the goal is not to drive through the

18
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:41,579
middle of these canyons where the sand

19
00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:42,960
is the deepest but to sort of pick a

20
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:44,879
path off to the side of them where we

21
00:00:48,830 --> 00:00:46,890
are on solid but soft terrain to take

22
00:00:51,740 --> 00:00:48,840
care of the wheels as we continue the

23
00:00:53,660 --> 00:00:51,750
journey we plan to make a couple of

24
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:53,670
brief stops along the way places that

25
00:00:56,959 --> 00:00:55,050
we've designated a scientifically

26
00:00:58,910 --> 00:00:56,969
interesting will go ahead and take the

27
00:01:00,650 --> 00:00:58,920
opportunity to study those areas so that

28
00:01:03,290 --> 00:01:00,660
we have a better understanding of what's

29
00:01:04,609 --> 00:01:03,300
ahead as we approach the mountain this

30
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:04,619
has been your Curiosity rover report
