One year on the 'dream machine' Mars

August 6 marks exactly one year of the Curiosity Mars expedition device that performs the mission of finding life on the red planet.

To celebrate this event, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of the US Space and Aeronautics Agency (NASA) published a video with images taken from lenses placed under Curiosity, Nature World's framework News said.

The video shows what Curiosity saw a year ago in two short minutes. Created from 548 images, the video shows viewers interesting scenes of robotic soil sampling performed on Martian landscapes, sunrise and sunset scenes under the robot's shadow.

Over the past year, Curiosity's activities on the red planet have always attracted attention from many parts of the world. The landing on Mars last year, updates Curiosity's witty status on social networks and images of the Mars landscape make the device famous and attracts a large number of interested people.

Over a year, Curiosity sent scientists over 190Gb of data and 70,000 images of the earth. Curiosity's main task on the red planet is to look for signs of ancient flows, and evidence of past life to support microbial life.

John Grotzinger, a scientist in the project, stated that Mars had favorable conditions for microbial life in billions of years ago. Scientists hope the area around Sharp Mountain will have favorable environmental conditions for development.

Curiosity is the 4th self-propelled robot created to perform Mars research tasks. The cost to build a robot weighing nearly a ton is nearly $ 2.5 billion. The device was launched into space in November 2011 at Canaveral, Florida, and it took eight and a half months to reach the red planet with a length of 566 million kilometers.
