==Curiosity==

The probe, Curiosity is nearly twice as long as the Spirit and Opportunity rovers, and weighs nearly 5 times more (900 kilograms). The probe landed in the Gale Crater, Aeolis Mons. It contains several new pieces of equipment to aid it's mission.  The probe also used new methods to land on mars, including the famous "Sky-Crane". Curiosity is equiped with a plutonium [[RTG]], which should be enough to power it for at least 10 years.  

The probe, Curiosity is nearly twice as long as the Spirit and Opportunity rovers, and weighs nearly 5 times more (900 kilograms). The probe landed in the Gale Crater, Aeolis Mons. It contains several new pieces of equipment to aid it's mission.  The probe also used new methods to land on mars, including the famous "Sky-Crane". This system worked by using a rocket-powered "crane" that was designed to hover in place while the lander was lowered to its final position on the Martian surface, and was chosen because the larger rover was considered too heavy for the airbag system that had been used for previous rovers. Curiosity is equipped with a plutonium [[Radioisotope thermoelectric generator]], which should be enough to power it for at least 10 years.
