- 6. Curiosity’s wheels have holes in them that leave a pattern: Morse code for JPL Rocker-Bogie Suspension System Wheel Sizes for Different Mars Rovers
- 7. Typical American = 6.2 millisieverts a year Trip to Mars = 554 -770 millisieverts
- 8. Engineers work in clean room conditions so they do not accidentally introduce living organisms that might give false readings while trying to detect life on Mars.
- 9. Curiosity carried the names of people from around the world to Mars on a microchip.
- 10. “The spacecraft's descent into the Martian atmosphere was guided by small rockets on its way toward the surface. “ This is a very human-friendly way of landing and, perhaps in the future, with the crew-carrying Orion Spacecraft. Source: NASA JPL
- 11. “Mars Science Laboratory used a bold, new landing system…As the spacecraft lost speed, rockets fired again, controlling the spacecraft's descent until the rover separated from its final delivery system, the sky crane. Like a large crane on Earth, the sky crane touchdown system lowered the rover to a ‘soft landing’--wheels down-on the surface of Mars, ready to begin its mission.” Source: NASA JPL
