Curiosity Wiggles Its Wheels, Shoots Another Laser Shot, Gets Ready for Test Drive
Curiosity will soon be on the move. Mission manager Mike Watkins reported during a teleconference yesterday that on Monday, the rover "wiggled its wheels" in place. Tuesday evening (California time) engineers sent commands up to the rover (morning on Mars) to instruct it to drive about 6 feet (one rover length), turn, and then head back to near where it started.
