Continuing Toward Glenelg
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
September 25, 2012

On Sol 49 (Sept. 25), Curiosity drove about 102 feet (31 meters), bringing the 
mission's total amount of driving to about 1,204 feet (367 meters). The rover 
science team's current focus is on getting Curiosity to the Glenelg area, and 
the drive took the rover eastward toward that destination.

Activities on Sol 49 before the drive included observation of a wheel track. 
After the drive, cameras on the mast observed the sky, as well as terrain at 
the rover's new location. A post-drive raw image from Curiosity's right 
Navigation Camera is at http://1.usa.gov/Pk6naH .

Curiosity continues to work in good health. Sol 49, in Mars local mean solar 
time at Gale Crater, ends at 3:49 p.m. Sept. 25, PDT.
