The first high resolution image was taken by the upper mast camera, which will be used during the mission for the navigation of this rolling lab. It will search out information about the composition of the surface and traces of former life on the red planet.

The black and white instant photo shows a plateau sprinkled with little rocks before a crest of hills that draw the bordering limits of the Gale crate, one of the many destinations for this nuclear propelled Martian explorer.
NASA has explained that the image (http://1.usa.gov/NjEMGt ) shows two depressions “probably were dug by the expansive wave from the descending Curiosity propellers”, that stood on Mars surface by a novel system named “Skycrane”.
