'Rocknest' From Sol 52 Location This patch of windblown sand and dust downhill from a cluster of dark rocks is the "Rocknest" site, which has been selected as the likely location for first use of the scoop on the arm of NASA's Mars rover Curiosity. This view is a mosaic of images taken by the telephoto right-eye camera of the Mast Camera (Mastcam) during the 52nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission (Sept. 28, 2012), four sols before the rover arrived at Rocknest. The Rocknest patch is about 8 feet by 16 feet (1.5 meters by 5 meters).

Scientists white-balanced the color in this view to show the Martian scene as it would appear under the lighting conditions we have on Earth, which helps in analyzing the terrain.

"Rocknest" — miejsce na Marsie

Ten wydmowy skrawek piasku, kurzu i skupiska kawałków ciemnych skał, o nazwie "Rocknest", jest miejscem wybranym do pierwszego użycia czerpaka (łopatki) urządzenia CHIMRA, zamontowanego na wysięgniku należącego do NASA łazika Curiosity. Przedstawiony widok jest mozaiką zdjęć wykonanych przez prawą kamerę zestawu MastCam podczas 52 dnia misji łazika Curiosity na Marsie, albo w Sol 52, (na Ziemi był wtedy 28 września 2012). Cztery marsjańskie dni wcześniej łazik przybył do miejsca Rocknest
