A NASA Mars rover has a giant hole in one of its wheels
A photo recently beamed to Earth by NASA’s trusty Curiosity rover shows significant damage to its middle right wheel, but the vehicle is still able to traverse the red planet’s rocky terrain without too much difficulty.
New NASA images reveal giant hole in Curiosity rover's wheel after 12 years of 'abuse' on Mars
Images captured by Curiosity's onboard cameras show several large tears in the tire of one of the rover's wheels. However, the damage does not appear to be slowing the roaming robot down.
New Photos From Mars Show NASA Rover Has Holes in Its Wheels
NASA's Mars rover has been exploring the Gale Crater since 2012. That's a long time to weather dust storms, drive along the base of a mountain and crawl over endless pointy rocks. The Curiosity rover's aluminum wheels have taken a beating,
Mars rover spots strange rock that's got NASA 'excited'
The reason scientists want the rover to explore the rim in the first place is for its potential to be littered with ancient Martian bedrock rubble. Jezero Crater formed when something substantial smacked into Mars billions of years ago. The impact could have churned up and tossed deep materials to the surface.
Curiosity Mars rover's wheels are more battered than ever — but they still work
