NASA goes wild as rover lands
NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity has landed on the red planet and has sent its first images via telemetry.
At 3.32 pm (AEST) NASA scientists were cheering as the rover made its way through the planet’s thin atmosphere, landing safely in the Gale Crater, named after the Australian astronomer Walter Gale.
Canberra’s Deep Space Communication Complex’s antennae were in communication with the rover for its trip until the Mars Odyssey orbiter took over.
The rover will be stationed on Mars over the next few years to see if life existed on the planet.
