Description
Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) is a robotic space probe mission to Mars launched by NASA on November 26, 2011,[3] which successfully landed Curiosity , a Mars rover , in Gale Crater on August 6, 2012.[4] [7] [8] [12] The overall objectives include investigating Mars' habitability , studying its climate and geology , and collecting data for a manned mission to Mars .[13] The rover carries a variety of scientific instruments designed by an international team.

Curiosity is a car -sized rover designed to explore the crater Gale on Mars as part of NASA 's Mars Science Laboratory mission (MSL).[3] Curiosity was launched from Cape Canaveral on November 26, 2011, at 15:02 UTC and landed on Aeolis Palus inside Gale on Mars on August 6, 2012, 05:17 UTC.[7] [8] [13] The Bradbury Landing site was less than 2.4 km (1.5 mi) from the center of the rover's touchdown target after a 560 million km (350 million mi) journey.[9] [14] 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.[15] [16]
In December 2012, Curiosity's two-year mission was extended indefinitely,[17] and on August 5, 2017, NASA celebrated the fifth anniversary of the Curiosity rover landing.[18] [19] The rover is still operational, and as of August 6, 2019, Curiosity has been on Mars for 2488 sols (2556 total days ) since landing on August 6, 2012. (See current status .)
Curiosity's design serves as the basis for the planned Mars 2020 rover, which will carry different scientific instruments.

2019 UPDATE: MSL Old Design is Now RE-Designed in Windows 10 and Added in 2 Difference Panels, Left Panel Is With MMRTG and Right Panel is Without MMRTG,
