America is about to launch the most advanced ship on Mars

The US Aerospace Agency (NASA) will launch the largest and most advanced self-propelled probe that humans have ever built on Mars in two weeks.

The self-propelled device, called Curiosity , will be launched on November 25. It is equipped with modern cameras, a machine arm and tools to analyze soil and rock on Mars. Curiosity's flight will last for eight and a half months. It will land on Mars's surface in August of the following year, AFP reported.

'This is the machine that scientists study Mars dreamed of. It's the most advanced exploration device we've ever put into space , 'said Ashwin Vasadava, deputy director of Curiosity project.

Curiosity's mission, about the size of a car and moving by six wheels, is to explore the Gale hole in Mars's southern hemisphere. Gale Hole has only a small mountain so the self-propelled device can climb the mountain's position to analyze soil and rock samples.

Curiosity does not hunt for living organisms on Mars, but only for signs that life once existed on it. The data sent by the self-propelled device will help NASA plan for future Mars exploration efforts.

'It is possible that chemicals are complex and necessary for life that once appeared on Mars. The traces of life were still there, 'said Pamela Conrad, a senior expert in the group of Martian material samples.

Curiosity's expected operating time is two years, but NASA hopes the device will operate longer than expected, like many of their previous detectors.
