'Star Trek' on Mars? Curiosity rover spots Starfleet symbol on Red Planet. The rover is still going strong in its 12th year of operations. Did someone leave a communicator badge lying on Mars? NASA's long-running Curiosity rover mission just spotted a familiar shape to "Star Trek" fans: The iconic delta-shaped emblem that Starfleet officers typically wear on their uniforms. Unfortunately, it would be highly illogical to say that a Starfleet landing party walked near Curiosity's roving grounds, as the image was of a mere Mars rock that just so happens to resemble the "Star Trek" symbol. The image was originally posted on the Mars Curiosity raw images site provided by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). It was taken with the rover's left navigation camera on Mars Day, or sol, 4062 of the mission on Jan. 9. ( Source here) Footnotes: So that's where I left my communicator.
