Mars Science Laboratory Descending to Mars

Digital illustration showing the sky crane maneuver during the descent of NASA's Curiosity rover to the Martian surface. Instead of the familiar airbag landing systems of the past Mars missions, Mars Science Laboratory will use a guided entry and a sky crane touchdown system to land the hyper-capable, massive rover. In the depicted scene, the spacecraft has begun lowering the rover while simultaneously controlling its own rate of descent with throttle-controllable rocket engines.
