Rover Curiosity ‘Mars’ approaches the Bermuda Triangle

The Curiosity rover was launched into space in 2011 with the aim of landing on Mars and studying different parts of the planet. Recently, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced that the rover is approaching the ‘Bermuda Triangle of Mars’; and this isn’t the first time Curiosity has tried to approach the area.

Gediz Vallis Ridge of Keskin Mountain It was nicknamed the ‘Bermuda Triangle of Mars’ because of the difficulty the rover faced in reaching the area. NASA announced that Curiosity tried to enter the area on different occasions, but was blocked by some obstacles in the way.

What is the real Bermuda Triangle?

The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the Atlantic Ocean that has become almost legendary due to the many accidents that occurred in the area and the mysterious disappearance of ships and planes. Either way, many people treat it like a conspiracy theory.

According to the US space agency, He could not reach the area three more times, as the area had a soil full of stones. Fortunately, NASA plans to make a fourth attempt to reach the ‘Bermuda Triangle of Mars’, and is even close to achieving success.

“A [região] Gediz Vallis Ridge was the long-term goal of the Curiosity Rover mission, and at times it seemed like an impossible goal. Since our first arduous ascent to the Greenhugh Pediment in 2020, our path there has deviated many times. Our cul-de-sac down the steep valley of Gediz Vallis across from the pediment was blocked by the rover’s potentially wheel-damaging ridges. “Gatorback,” in 2022, NASA explains in an official statement.

Mars Bermuda Triangle

NASA announced that the rover is very close to the Gediz Vallis Ridge. It was only a few meters before he could extend his mechanical arm and touch the surface of the area. The rocky terrain remains a problem for the rover, but the agency believes the rover will eventually reach the ‘Bermuda Triangle of Mars’.

The area is known for an as yet unexplored rock cluster, so the rover, Study on the natural materials of the Gediz Vallis Ridge.

“With [este] According to our plan, assuming our voyage will be successful and we won’t be leaving our wheels on a lot of rocks on this steep slope, we hope that Curiosity can finally perform contact science on the various cluster of GV Ridge rocks.”
