NASA’s Curiosity rover spends 5 days 'shaking off' stuck Mars rock
On April 25, 2026, NASA’s Curiosity rover accidentally lifted and got a 13-kilogram Mars rock nicknamed “Atacama” stuck to its drill after collecting a sample.
After five days of vibrations, drill spins, and robotic arm movements, the rock finally broke loose and shattered onto the Martian surface on May 1.
