Purpose:

Wheels
|
NASA engineers are designing a new generation of rover wheels that can cope with the rugged terrain of the red planet.
|
Solar Panel
|
Without power, it cannot move, use its science instruments, or communicate with Earth. The main source of power for each rover comes from a multi-panel solar array
|
Laser
|
This new capability is powered by software called Autonomous Exploration for Gathering Increased Science, or AEGIS. It allows the rover to control its own use of ChemCam, an instrument that learns the chemical composition of rocks by zapping them with alaser and studying the resulting gasses.
|
Camera
|
Blue and infrared solar filters allow the camera to image the sun. These data, along with images of the sky at a variety of wavelengths, help to determine the orientation of the rover and provide information about the dust in the atmosphere of Mars
|
Shovel, rock, Pick, drill
|
Curiosity is a car-sized rover designed to explore the crater Gale on Mars as part of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission (MSL). ... Curiosity's design serves as the basis for the planned Mars 2020 rover, that will carry different scientific instruments
