On Monday, the rover relayed the first voice recording to be sent from another planet, and on today it will broadcast a song from an artist. But alongside these show pieces, Curiosity - also known as the Mars Science Laboratory - is already warming up its instruments for a science mission of unprecedented scope on the Red Planet.
Nasa said that the rover was already returning more data from Mars than all of the agency's earlier rovers combined. It will eventually trundle to the base of Mount Sharp, the 5 km-high peak at the centre of Gale Crater, in which the rover touched down just over three weeks ago.
