Landing will take place the night of August 5th, 1:30 AM eastern, 10:30 pm pacific, and 6:30 AM GMT (August 6th.) NASA will be streaming live here: www.nasa.gov And we'll be live-tweeting here: www.twitter.com The Mars Science Laboratory or Curiosity Rover is the largest payload ever delivered to the surface of a planet and it has a terrifyingly complicated descent and landing strategy. First, the atmosphere takes it from 13000 mph to 2000 mph. Then a parachute takes it down to 200 mph. The final, powered-descent stage lowers the craft to 21 feet above the surface, at which point it will be lowered by a tether and the rockets will detach and crash land elsewhere. If the Curiosity survives it's descent to Mars, it will be the most robust scientific tool to ever explore another planet. The size of a small car, the craft has a planned mission length of two years, during which time it could travel over 12 miles. Curiosity's goals are to study the geology and climate of Mars, to determine whether there was once life there, and to prepare for future human exploration of the Red Planet.
This is the Full Animation of the Mars Curiosity Rover :). This event is no Longer Live! The mars curiosity rover Touched down at about 10:32pm Pacific Time. A big Congratulations on the MSL team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory! Now Its on its journey to discover if life ever existed OR if its able to sustain life for future missions of Humans on the Face of mars :) Check on the RAW images from time to time. There you will see the images that come through when the Rover snaps the photos. You can watch this event unfold LIVE at these websites!
