Annotated Image of Curiosity Rover and all of its Cameras

This annotated artists' concept shows the location of all of the Curiosity rover's 17 cameras. "Engineering cameras" such as the navigation and hazard avoidance cameras, are those that help humans on Earth "see" so they can drive the rover across the tough martian terrain. Navigation cameras are placed upon the "head" for a long distance view, while hazard avoidance cameras are placed so they see obstacles right in front of the rover. "Science cameras" are those that are used by the science teams to learn about the chemistry and evolution of martian land forms, from the wide angle, panoramic cameras to the magifying camera at the end of Curiosity's arm.
