From Curiosity’s descent and early views of Mars, to 3D views from the front of and behind the rover, take a look at the images of the Red Planet taken so far…
Curiosity landed on Mars early in the morning of 6 August EDT (evening of 5 August PDT) to begin a two-year prime mission. Its job – to investigate whether the selected area of Mars offers environmental conditions favourable for microbial life, or whether there’s any evidence that life once existed on the Red Planet. For the record, this is a big deal.
