On Sol 3658 (yestersol), the Mars Curiosity had a checkup look at its wheels using the arm-mounted MAHLI camera. Those wheels have seen better days, but they're holding up and have many more kilometers of driving left in them.

Fun fact: See the holes in the second image? Those leave marks in the sand and are used to determine distance. They also spell out "JPL" in Morse Code:
.--- J
.--. P
.-.. L

火星に行ったCuriosityの車輪のどアップ@@!

あ、穴がTT。なかなか過酷らしい・・・

規則性のある穴は、わざとで、印を残し、距離を測る・・・らしい。モールス信号。。。ほほー :blobcatthink:
