Mars Could Look Like This Someday

Mars may take on a very Saturn-like look in the future. The red planet's largest moon, Phobos, has an inward-moving orbit that is sending it on a destructive path toward Mars' strong gravitational grasp. This could cause the moon to break apart and disintegrate into a planetary ring some 20 million to 40 million years from now, according to a study published Monday in the...

Mars Science Laboratory

The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) is a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) mission to land and operate a rover named Curiosity on the surface of Mars. Currently in transit to Mars, it was launched November 26, 2011, at 10:02 EST and is scheduled to land on Mars in the Aeolis Palus of Gale Crater near Aeolis Mons (formerly Mount Sharp) on August 6, 2012. At Mars it will try a more precise landing than attempted previously and then help assess Mars's habitability. One mission objective is to determine whether Mars is or has ever been able to support life, and it can chemically analyze samples in various ways, including scooping up soil, drilling rocks, and using a laser and sensor system. Four major goals are to tackle the aforementioned life questions, collect data for a human mission, study Martian geology, and study the climate.

The Curiosity rover is about five times larger than the Spirit or Opportunity Mars Exploration Rovers and carries more than ten times the mass of scientific instruments. MSL was launched by an Atlas V 541 rocket and, after its journey to Mars and then landing, is designed to explore for at least 687 Earth days (1 Martian year) over a range of 5–20 km (3–12 miles).
