Track the progress of the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover

Track the progress of the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover as it traverses Gale Crater to its Mount Sharp destination.

Current position is displayed on a high-resolution (0.25 meter/pixel) map made from images from the HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The map can be zoomed and dragged with touch gestures. A scale bar shows the distance scale at any zoom level.

The track of the rover from the landing site to its last reported position is indicated on the map. Rover position and track information is updated approximately twice daily.

Links are provided to web pages with a list of all drives in the mission along with maps of those drives, as well as the latest images taken by the rover's cameras.
