Curiosity Before Mars: Seven Minutes of Terror
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Next week, there may be an amazing new robotic explorer on Mars, or a new pile of junk. It depends on many things going correctly in the minutes after the Mars Science Laboratory mission arrives at Mars. The mission will attempt to deploy the Curiosity rover from orbit. This is arguably the most sophisticated landing yet attempted on the red planet.
