NASA’s Curiosity en route to Mars

An Atlas V rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Saturday morning, shuttling NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover on a one-way trip to the red planet. The nuclear-powered vehicle weighs one-ton and is the largest rover sent to Mars – it is packed with instruments that will sample the Martian soil to search for signs of life, past and present.
