The wheels of three Martian rovers, left to right: Sojourner (1997), Spirit/Opportunity (2003), Curiosity (2012).
Curiosity is the size and weight of a Mini Cooper with a top speed of 0.05 mph. It lands August 6th.
You can’t see it in this photo, but the tread pattern on the Curiosity is Morse code for “JPL” – i.e. Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
