Geocache Description:

This cache was placed one day when driving around after Finding a First to Find when I saw The street sign Mars Rd. So You get the Idea how these caches will have a connection to Mars. Look for something out of place within the Guidelines of Geocaching.

Curiosity (Mars Science Laboratory) (MSL)

Mars rover (NASA)


Launch: November 26, 2011

Landing: August 6, 2012

Curiosity is the next generation of rover, building on the successes of Spirit and Opportunity. It landed in Gale Crater, the location of a 5+ km tall mound of layered sedimentary material, which Curiosity has found was at least partially deposited in a lake setting. The rover has also made key discoveries such as the detection of organic material. After a 2-(Earth)-year trek from its landing site, it is now entering the foothills of the mound, dubbed "Mount Sharp" (or Aeolis Mons), where it will then start its ascent up the mound.
