Technicians Lowering Descent Stage Over Mars Curiosity Rover for Integration

Technicians are guiding an overhead crane to lower a descent stage over the Curiosity rover for integration in the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at Kennedy Space Center. This descent stage will be crucial in lowering the rover onto Mars as part of the Mars Science Laboratory mission. This image could be used for articles on space exploration, Mars missions, NASA's rover technology, or scientific advancements in the search for extraterrestrial life.
