DESCRIPTION:NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory mission\, with its Curiosity 
 rover\, is in its fourteenth year assessing the habitability of its field 
 area in Gale crater. As of December 2025\, Curiosity has examined ~900 met
 ers of stratigraphy on Aeolis Palus and Aeolis Mons (Mount Sharp) along a 
 36-km traverse. Mission results indicate that habitable conditions (persis
 tent liquid water\, key chemical elements required for life\, and sources 
 of energy) were present in multiple environments likely spanning at least 
 millions of years in the early Hesperian\, and potentially much longer in 
 the subsurface.  Significant mission lifetime and most recent results will
  both be highlighted.\n\n
