The full video version of the host laboratory NASA Curiosity appeared on the Internet. The “28 months on Mars” launched The New York Times.
Video presented at an accelerated version. Start dated August 6, 2012 – the day of landing the rover on the surface of the Red Planet. Actually, the whole timeline is divided not into minutes and seconds, and for days and years. Ends roller 3 December this year. You can see which actions are performed Curiosity for 827 days, or sols (Martian days) of their work.
The main findings of the mission are described under the video. The first is the discovery of 28 September 2012 in Gale Crater traces of an ancient lake, a few billion years, not just dry up and reappears. This event gave another reason to assume the existence of life on the Red Planet.
A month later, Curiosity took its first soil sample on a dune Rocknest, where he spent six weeks analyzing the composition. Results of the study were also very interesting: it was found water and a number of chemical elements that are common on Earth. By the way, it is on this dune rover made its first “self”.
