Curiosity: An international mission to Mars

Curiosity is a mission which consists of shooting a robot to Mars to analise its composition. It was shot in 2011, and since then it has been collecting usefull data which has been analised thorughout the whole world.

The NASA in USA coordinated the missions and built the whole robot, which each part made in different countries whose data is analised in their country.

For example, Spain provided the part to analise the atmosphere and climatic behaviour of the planet. This is held in spanish laboratories and it is paid by the government.

Here there is a video of some of the shots the robot's camera has taken:


The main objective of this mission is to determine whether life was present or not thousands of years ago and if it could be an inhabitable planet. It is a previous step to a future human tripulated mission to Mars.

  1. Cool site and easy to navigate. It gives really interesting information about the topic. I would like extended surveys that include more questions and with a higher amount of people interviewed to get a better sense of the different of perspective beetween the two countries.

  2. Really liked your blog. It gives an excellent insight into the theme and also provides interesting information about people's mindset. Maybe States' opinion is defficient, I think that including more information about what American people think could make it look nicer.
