[Topic areas] Space exploration Mars exploration Mars Rover Curiosity [Example talk] Exploring Mars with Curiosity and its Laser On August 6, 2012, the Curiosity rover was lowered to the Martian soil by a “sky crane,” settling on its own six wheels. It sports 10 instruments, an arm that weighs as much as a whole previous generation Mars rover and a laser that vaporizes bits of rock up to 25 feet away to determine their compositions. This talk describes the rover, its journey to Mars and Curiosity’s new discoveries. [Speakers]
