MSL: siedem lat na Marsie BY KRZYSZTOF KANAWKA ON 12 SIERPNIA 2019
(...) Misja łazika Mars Science Laboratory jest daleka od zakończenia. Przez kolejne lata łazik będzie badać bardzo ciekawe obszary Mt Sharp, odkrywając ślady dawnej działalności wody na powierzchni Czerwonej Planety. Łazik będzie też badać, czy dawne warunki były wystarczające do powstania i utrzymania życia na Marsie. Zbocza Mt Sharp wydają się aktualnie jednym z najlepszych miejsc na Marsie do poszukiwania śladów życia.

Seven years. 13 miles. 22 samples.Our Curiosity rover has come a long way since touching down on Mars seven years ago. It has traveled a total of 13 miles (21 kilometers) and ascended 1,207 feet (368 meters) to its current location. Along the way, Curiosity discovered Mars had the conditions to support microbial life in the ancient past. And the rover is far from done, having just drilled its 22nd sample from the Martian surface.

Deimos in transit. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)Organic compoundsJust last year, Curiosity finally gave us conclusive evidence of several organic compounds on Mars. In drilled samples, it identified thiophene, 2- and 3-methylthiophenes, methanethiol, and dimethylsulfide - showing that the organic chemistry in Martian mudstone is pretty close to mudstone on Earth.
"With these new findings, Mars is telling us to stay the course and keep searching for evidence of life," NASA's Thomas Zurbuchen said. So exciting!
