 The text discusses the Curiosity rover's mission to explore Mars and search for signs of life. It mentions that the rover is equipped with instruments to analyze Martian rocks and soil, and has discovered evidence of ancient lakes and rivers on Mars. The text also notes that the rover has been operating on Mars since 2012 and has traveled over 20 kilometers. Additionally, it mentions that NASA engineers have tested the rover's robotic arm and are planning to use it to collect samples from Martian rocks.
