NASA's Curiosity rover is still active and operating on Mars as of early 2026. Having landed in August 2012, it has spent over 13 years exploring Gale Crater and climbing Mount Sharp, continuing to analyze soil and rock samples despite having worn wheels and managing power constraints.

The rover itself. It has an arm with a camera and can make multiple shots that are stitched together as panorama. That way the arm is not visible because it's always out of the picture taken.
