Driving and Moon-Watching
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
September 18, 2012

On Sol 42 (Sept. 17, 2012), Curiosity drove about 105 feet (32 meters),
toward the east-southeast, bringing the mission's total driving distance
to about 850 feet (259 meters). The Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons (DAN)
instrument was used at two stops during the drive to check for hydrogen
in the soil beneath the rover.

During this sol, the rover used its Mast Camera to observe Mars' two
moons, Phobos and Deimos, as each passed in front of the sun.

Curiosity continues to work in good health. Sol 42, in Mars local mean
solar time at Gale Crater, ends at 11:12 a.m. Sept. 18, PDT.
