Images From Mars From The Mars Curiosity Rover



Curiosity is a car-sized rover designed to explore the crater Gale on Mars as part of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission (MSL). Curiosity was launched on November 26th, 2011, and landed on Aeolis Palus inside Gale on Mars on August 6th, 2012 after a 56 million km (35 million mi) journey.

The rover's goals include an investigation of the Martian climate and geology; assessment of whether the selected field site inside Gale has ever offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life, including investigation of the role of water; and planetary habitability studies in preparation for human exploration.
