Curiosity Ryan Richter ITMG /16/2013

Takeoff Curiosity took off from Cape Canaveral, Florida on November 26, 2011 First Mars rover mission since Spirit and Opportunity in 2003 Primary goal of the mission is to determine if life has ever existed on Mars

Gale Crater Only region being studied Curiosity landed there because: There is believed to be an ancient channel Aeolis Mons acts as a geologic time scale Hopes of finding water molecules in the rock

Landing Takes 7 minutes to land Has to go from 13,000 mph to 0 mph Stages: Guided initial descent Parachute Deployment Parachute Released, rockets turned on Skycrane lowers Curiosity rover

Discoveries Mast Camera snapped photos of dried up streambed Gravel photographed were small and rounded Stream was determined ankle to hip deep Water molecules found in drilled rock html html

Discoveries Many common isotopes are found in both atmospheres Mars atmosphere was lost to space Less dense isotopes escaped atmosphere ml

Future of Mars Exploration Curiosity’s successful techniques and data recorded are beneficial for upcoming missions MAVEN is a Mars orbiter that will take atmosphere measurements Men on Mars by 2030
