The American robot Curiosity - operating on Mars for one Martian year, or 687 Earth days - accelerates its race to try to reach Christmas exciting area of Mount Sharp , said Friday at the Agence France-Presse the French astrophysicist Sylvain Maurice in Toulouse . "There's one week, Curiosity set a record by traveling in one day is 147 meters away," said Sylvain Maurice, co-head of the Franco-American chemical ChemCam camera mounted on Curiosity, reached by telephone in the City of space Toulouse.

"The rover speeds - carefully - because we are trying to cover the ground to reach in the winter, a place that fascinates us, Mount Sharp, with its beautiful landscapes," said Sylvain Maurice, a member of the Institute Research in Astrophysics and Planetology (IRAP, Toulouse III University, CNRS).
