Mars Science Laboratory

The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) is a NASA mission that includes the Curiosity rover, which landed on Mars in 2012. Its primary goal is to explore the Martian surface to investigate the planet's climate, geology, and potential for past life. Curiosity is equipped with advanced scientific instruments to analyze rocks and soil, assess environmental conditions, and search for organic molecules. This information helps scientists understand Mars's history and its habitability, contributing to the broader goal of future human exploration. MSL represents a significant step in our quest to understand Mars and our solar system.
