NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has captured the first-ever image of the Curiosity rover mid-drive across Mars.

Taken on Feb. 28 by the HiRISE camera, the photo shows Curiosity making tracks through Gale Crater.

These tracks, spanning about 1,050 feet, mark 11 recent drives as the rover moves toward a region with possible ancient groundwater formations, Space.com has reported.

Curiosity has been exploring Mars since 2012, while MRO has orbited the planet since 2006, aiding in scientific research and serving as a communications relay.
