Curiosity rover on Mars. Artwork of NASA's Curiosity rover in a rocky landscape in the Gale Crater on Mars. This crater was caused by an asteroid impact millions of years ago. The rover landed here on 6 August 2012,on a mission to investigate the Martian climate and geology. It will assess whether environmental conditions were favourable for microbial life,as well as providing data to aid future human exploration. Currently,Mars is a rocky desert world with no surface water. The atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide and Martian surface temperatures are well below freezing | |
