Показать описание
The biggest and most technically advanced rover to date is on its way to Mars. In the latest Astro Bulletin from the Museum's Science Bulletins program, follow Curiosity as it leaves the launching pad on Cape Canaveral and begins its journey to Mars. Equipped with more gear than the two previous rovers combined, Curiosity is designed to collect and process samples and then distribute them to testing chambers inside scientific instruments carried onboard. Test results and images of Mars's surface will be transmitted to NASA through radio relays via Mars orbiters. Curiosity is expected to arrive at Mars in August 2012.

Visitors to AMNH may view the video in the Hall of the Universe until January 19, 2012.

We have to send a rover to Europa. Imagine what we're gonna find there. The first rover should be called 'Holy fuck." Then we send a second one called "You can't be serious." And a third one with the name "I shit you not." The entire Europa rover mission will be presented under the title: "Bitch, step aside. I'm doing science."
