How does Curiosity compare to NASA ’s other swan Martian golem ?
The Agency has placed a total of four robotic rovers on the Red Planet . The first , Sojourner , touched down in 1997 . Twins Spirit and Opportunity come next , followed lastly by Curiosity , which landed via skycrane last August .
Curiosity is apparently the self-aggrandising , and the most scientifically capable , rover NASA ’s ever launch , but how else does it differ from its forbears ? This comparison graph , of late released by JPL Infographics , uses relatable concepts ( like the landspeed of a slothfulness ! ) to compare and contrast NASA ’s four , six - wheeled Martian rover .
