NASA Mars Science Laboratory Payload Fairing at Kennedy Space Center Image
Image shows the NASA Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) payload fairing being transported in the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at Kennedy Space Center. The enclosed compact car-sized rover, Curiosity, equipped with ten science instruments, is prepared for its search for evidence of environments on Mars favorable to microbial life. The fairing, soon to be moved to Space Launch Complex 41 for a launch on Nov. 25 aboard an Atlas V rocket, demonstrates key preparation stages of a significant space exploration mission. Ideal for educational content, space technology resources, and NASA mission documentation.
