Curiosity landed on Mars on August 5, 2012. Equipped like a geologist, it has been studying the landscape, using its “rock hammer” to look inside rocks and then study them with onboard tools. Curiosity has now drilled for 39 samples, which have been analyzed inside its tiny onboard lab. It’s mission: determine if ancient Mars ever had the conditions to support microbial life.
As Curiosity climbs the mountain, it has been sampling the various layers that formed over time. These layers are like the pages of history, which reveals information of how the climate changed over time.
