‘Wanderers’ - an MSL/Curiosity commemoration print

Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) is a robotic mission to Mars launched by NASA on November 26, 2011, that will attempt to land a Mars rover called Curiosity on the surface of Mars. Currently en route to the planet, it is scheduled to land in Gale Crater at about 05:31 UTC on August 6, 2012. Curiosity rover’s objectives include determining Mars’ habitability, studying its climate and geology, and collecting data for human missions.

This artwork is available as a print in a wide variety of sizes for a wide variety of prices on my society6 page.

For more information about the Curiosity rover, including its incredibly complex and nervewracking plan of descent onto the surface of Mars, check out this SciShow episode.
