Back from a non-internet-connected holiday, I was surfing around and found JPL has launched the MSL website.

Here it is:http://marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/index.html

This is a big improvement over the one page we have had for some time. Naturally, some parts need fleshing out, but there is a page for every instrument, along with summaries of the mission goals and objectives. I have not read through all of it yet, but look forward to discussion of what we can uncover here. smile.gif

And I love this picture. MSL is gonna be BIG cool.gif

Check out the MSL website to view assembly progress as the Rover enters ATLO.

Now we enter a new stage in Mars exploration as a new Rover comes to life.
