U.S. launches biggest-ever Mars rover
|
|
A supersize rover zoomed toward Mars on an 8 1/2-month, 570-million-km journey Nov. 26, the biggest and best-equipped robot ever sent to explore another planet. NASA's six-wheeled, one-armed wonder, Curiosity, will reach Mars next summer and use its jackhammer drill, rock-zapping laser machine and other devices to search for evidence that Earth's next-door neighbor might once have been home to the teeniest forms of life. The 1-ton Curiosity is a mobile, nuclear-powered laboratory holding 10 science instruments that will sample Martian soil and rocks. (AP)
