NASA's Curiosity Rover Celebrates 3,000 Days On Mars - Jalopnik

Curiosity, the rover that’s been exploring the planet Mars since it touched down on the Red Planet on August 6, 2012, just celebrated its 3,000th day on Mars on January 12, 2021.

The Mars Exploration Rover has spent that time admirably cruising around and investigating Martian climate and geology, in part to determine if Mars is habitable or if it ever was in the past.

On January 3, 2004, Mars Exploration Rover Spirit began to make history.

Again, the purpose of that mission is to evaluate the composition of Mars in order to determine if it can be habitable.
