Currently in transit to the Red Planet, it was launched with precision on November 26, 2011, at exactly 10:02 EST and is scheduled to make a precise landing on Mars at Gale Crater on August 6, 2012. If MSL successfully arrives at Mars, it will attempt an even more precise landing than any previous mission has attempted and then play a crucial role in assessing the habitability of Mars. A primary mission objective is to definitively determine whether Mars is or has ever been capable of supporting life, though it will not focus on searching for any specific type of life. Rather, it is designed to chemically analyze samples in various ways, including scooping up soil, drilling rocks, and utilizing a powerful laser and sensor system to gather valuable data. Four major goals are to extensively study Martian geology, study the Martian climate with precision, collect essential data for future human missions, and tackle the pressing life questions head-on.Price: $149.00 Date added: August 6, 2015 Last update: August 6, 2015 Product id: 55c3592eccff75b0688b45f5
