This rover, part of the Mars Science Laboratory MSL mission, landed in the Gale Crater on 6 August 2012. This impact mark, and secondary impacts, are from the rovers rocketpowered descent stage sky crane. The impacts from the descent stage revealed darker basaltic sands below the surface dust and soil.
