Curiosity readies for dramatic entrance -- Mars rover to touch downAugust 5
Curiosity readies for dramatic entrance
Mars rover to touch down August 5 http://www.sciencenews.org/view/gene...matic_entrance Curiosity, NASA’s newest Mars rover, will search for signs of life-friendly environments on Mars — if it survives the journey to the Martian surface on August 5. The journey’s final step is a maneuver that engineers call the sky crane (illustrated), in which a hovering spacecraft lowers the rover to the reddish soil. -- -Sam Wormley
