Curiosity survives “seven minutes of terror”
August 8, 2012
Congratulations to our SESDA II team supporting the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument on the Curiosity rover. The rover successfully survived a challenging and harrowing landing on Mars early on August 6th. After years of planning, designing, building, and testing, the SAM instrument suite will now play a vital role in the search for habitability on Mars as the rover begins its nominal two year mission investigating the Martian surface.
