The next Mars rover , dub Curiosity , is due to launch next fall and land on the red planet in August of 2012 . But just today , it took its very first steps in a clean elbow room at NASA ’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory .
The scouter , which is much magnanimous than I was expecting it to be , roll a few feet besiege by engineers and technician in “ bunny suits ” on the clean room level . All went fit in to plan , and everything is still on track for next fall ’s launch .
Aspreviously reported , Curiosity is going to be headed up to Mars equipped with a pretty sweet 3D tv camera thanks to James Cameron , which should send back some of the most striking images of the planet ’s open ever enamor . Godspeed , Curiosity . [ Physorg ]
