Following the success of the "Curious" probe, NASA said it will continue to bring a new probe to Mars by 2020.

The announcement was made by NASA at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco. Accordingly the second probe will be placed on the Curious robot, which landed on the red planet last August.

The new probe will reuse many of the technologies that have been successful on Curiosity, including a crane that helped this robot land exactly one centimeter down the Gale crater. There are also new ways to fly into Mars.

Although the new probe has many similar design points Curious, the machines it carries will be completely different. NASA representatives confirmed that they would send a proposal to the scientific community soon.

Since landing on Mars on August 6, Curious probes are now looking for signs of having an environment suitable for microbial life here. So far the biggest discovery The curiosity has been obtained is to assert that it landed on the bottom of an ancient living system, where water once flowed with waist-deep depth.
