Apart from exploring sand dunes of Mars, NASA’s Curiosity rover is busy in clicking selfie. The car-sized space vehicle took a robot selfie last week when it was roving the Namib Dune of the Red Planet, the space agency of the US announced.

The latest picture by the Curiosity Mars rover was different from a normal selfie as it was clicked without using an arm. Then how the rover clicked the flawless selfie? NASA JPL revealed the photo is a mosaic designed by using 57 self-portraits. The vehicle uses a robotic arm and decided a perfect position a shot. After that, it beams back image to NASA, and Curiosity’s team composes all the pictures together, NASA JPL explained.

Curiosity team has loaded the rover will 17 cameras to click picture of the Red Planet. The rover on Mars used the Mars Hand Lens Imager or MAHLI to click the latest selfie. The research team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California posted the latest self portrait of Curiosity Friday on Facebook where the picture has earned more than 46,000 likes.

According to NASA, the rover has been exploring the Bagnold Dune Field since last few months. The latest photos were captured by Curiosity on January 19. Before this, it examined three samples of the Namib Dune. While scooping the third bite, the rover’s processing device stopped working as it was planned.

“The rover responded properly to this unexpected event. It stopped moving the actuator and halted further use of the arm and sampling system”, said Steve Lee, deputy project manager for Curiosity.

About the latest glitch, NASA said that the team has been working to fix the problem as soon as possible. The rover will be back to work very soon, it added.
