The Mars Science Laboratory ( MSL ) is a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) mission with the aim to land and operate a rover named Curiosity on the surface of Mars . [11] [12] Currently in transit to Mars, it was launched November 26, 2011, at 10:02 EST [1] [3] and is scheduled to land on Mars at Gale Crater on August 6, 2012 [8] [9] [10] (about 10pm in the evening of August 5 PDT , the time used by the mission controllers in Pasadena, California). [6] If MSL arrives at Mars, it will attempt a more precise landing than attempted previously and then help assess Mars's habitability . A primary mission objective is to determine whether Mars is or has ever been an environment able to support life , though it will not look for any specific type of life. Rather, it is intended to chemically analyze samples in various ways, including scooping up soil, drill rocks , and with a laser and sensor system. [13] |

The Mars Science Laboratory ( MSL ), known as Curiosity , [2] [3] is a United States space agency ( NASA ) rover scheduled to be launched in November 2011 and land on Mars in August 2012. [4] It would perform the first-ever precision landing on Mars. It is a rover that will assess whether Mars ever was, or is still today, an environment able to support microbial life . In other words, its mission is to determine the planet's habitability . It will also analyze samples scooped up from the soil and drilled powders from rocks . [5] |

The Mars Science Laboratory ( MSL ) is a NASA rover scheduled to be launched between October and December 2011 and perform the first-ever precision landing on Mars . [1] This rover will be three times as heavy and twice the width of the Mars Exploration Rovers (MERs) that landed in 2004. It will carry more advanced scientific instruments than any other mission to Mars to date, including analysis of samples scooped up from the soil and drilled powders from rocks . It will also investigate the past or present ability of Mars to support microbial life. The United States , Canada , Germany , France , Russia and Spain will provide the instruments onboard. |

The Mars Science Laboratory (or MSL for short) is a NASA rover scheduled to launch in September 2009 and perform a precision landing on Mars in July-September 2010. This rover will be three times as heavy and twice the width of the Mars Exploration Rovers (MERs) that landed in 2004. It will carry more advanced scientific instruments than any other mission to Mars. The international community will provide some of these instruments. The MSL rover will be launched by an Atlas V 541 . Once on the ground, MSL will analyze dozens of samples scooped up from the soil and drilled powders from rocks . MSL will be expected to operate for at least 1 martian year (~2 Earth years ) as it explores with greater range than any previous Mars rover. It will investigate the past or present ability of Mars to support life . |

The Mars Science Laboratory (or MSL for short) is a NASA rover scheduled to launch in December 2009 and perform a precision landing on Mars in October 2010 . This rover will be three times as heavy and twice the width of the Mars Exploration Rovers (MERs) that landed in 2004 . It will carry more advanced scientific instruments than any other mission to Mars. The international community will provide most of these instruments. The MSL rover will be launched by an Atlas V or Delta IV medium class booster. There is some discussion at NASA of delaying the launch to 2011 and sending two or three identical rovers [1] [2] . Since part of the MSL's mission is to locate a suitable landing spot for a future sample return mission, proponents of this option say it makes sense to cover multiple sites with the mission, therefore requiring multiple rovers. While the estimated cost of one rover is a billion USD , an additional rover would likely cost only $400 million, since most mission costs are incurred during the planning phase. As of June of 2005 Andy Dantzler, director of NASA's Solar System Division has stated that MSL it is on track for 2009 and he will expend considerable effort to make sure that date is not changed.
