"Curious" found suspected metal or plastic fragments

According to the online version of the "Connect" magazine on October 10th, NASA's "Curious" rover, after completing a series of excavation and smashing work, found a few days ago on the Martian ground. Unknown objects of very small size. Through the analysis of the rover and the pictures returned to the earth, NASA engineers temporarily identified this bright small piece as possible from plastic materials, but there is no clear answer to its source.

On August 6 this year, the "Curious" nuclear-powered Mars rover finally successfully set foot on the Red Planet after more than 8 months of "work", which not only became NASA's most proud measure in 2012, but also Add a new person to the list of Martian pioneers. In mid-September, Curiosity used its analyzer to complete the first compositional analysis of Martian material elements, collecting first-hand reliable Martian data for the Earth. And its most important task in the near future is to use two airborne laboratories to collect soil, crush rocks and collect atmospheric samples at the same time, and use the alpha particles and X-ray spectrometer installed at the end of the robot arm to emit X-rays to the target body Take reflection energy to determine which elements are present, and then understand whether there have been any chemical elements that can support life in the history of Mars.

It was during the first operation of collecting Martian soil samples that Curiosity discovered this unknown object in the sand beside its large wheels. Curiosity then took a picture with the remote-controlled chemical miniature thermal imager equipped with the detector. The picture revealed that the object looked organic and had a weird outline. Since this is a very artificial object at first glance, one can't help but hope that it is best to fall off the "Curious" body itself-it may be a debris from the body of the rover, it may be a small piece of cable stripping The tape may also be metal slag from the protective shell. Of course, similar small fragments are more likely to have fallen from the previous Mars Rover Phoenix and Opportunity.

The issue of the source of the debris is still uncertain, and more information is expected to be announced at the NASA press conference on October 11.
