The Curiosity rover is a robotic vehicle designed to explore the surface of Mars. Launched by NASA in 2011, it landed on the planet in August 2012. Its primary mission is to investigate the planet's climate and geology, and to assess whether Mars has ever had conditions suitable for life. Equipped with advanced scientific instruments, Curiosity can analyze soil and rock samples, take high-resolution images, and measure atmospheric conditions. The rover has traveled over 25 kilometers since its landing, providing valuable data that helps scientists understand the history of Mars and its potential for supporting life.
