Four thousand Martian days after setting its wheels in Gale Crater on 05-Aug.2012, NASA’s Curiosity rover remains busy conducting exciting science.
To study whether ancient Mars had the conditions to support microbial life, the rover has been gradually ascending the base of 3-mile-tall Mount Sharp, whose layers formed in different periods of Martian history and offer a record of how the planet’s climate changed over time.
Curiosity was built by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed by Caltech in Pasadena, California. JPL leads the mission on behalf of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego built and operates Mastcam.
