Curiosity rovers descent. Image taken by NASAs Curiosity Rover during its descent to the surface of Mars on 6th August 2012 (EDT), showing its heat shield (round) below it. Curiosity was launched on 26th November 2011 and landed successfully on Mars on 6th August 2012. Its mission is to determine if Mars is, or was ever, able to support microbial life. This image was obtained by the Mars Descent Imager (MARDI) instrument and shows the 4.5-metre diameter heat shield when it was about 16 meters from the spacecraft. It was obtained two and a half minutes before touching down on the surface of Mars and about three seconds after heat shield separation.
