Curiosity is a car -sized rover designed to explore Gale Crater on Mars as part of NASA 's Mars Science Laboratory mission (MSL). [3] Curiosity was launched from Cape Canaveral on November 26, 2011, at 15:02 UTC aboard the MSL spacecraft and landed on Aeolis Palus in Gale Crater on Mars on August 6, 2012, 05:17 UTC. [7] [8] [13] The Bradbury Landing site was less than 2.4 km (1.5 mi) from the center of the rover's touchdown target after a 560 million km (350 million mi) journey. [9] [14] The rover's goals include an investigation of the Martian climate and geology ; assessment of whether the selected field site inside Gale Crater has ever offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life , including investigation of the role of water ; and planetary habitability studies in preparation for human exploration.
