The rest will be sorted to a size and volume that can be put inside the labs on the rover. Some of the sample will be used to scrub then inside of the machinery to get rid of any contamination that may have travelled with Curiosity from Earth to Mars. It was pushed into the sample acquisition chamber. Chemin will analyze the rock first because the findings from Chemin will influence the settings run in the Sam experiments.ĭrilling produced a fine powder that the Curosity was able to pick up. Instruments will determine the rock sample's chemistry and mineralogy, and identify any carbon chemistry. The rocks are located about half a km from the robot's point of touchdown in a depression called Yellowknife Bay.Ĭhemin and Sam are two labs in the Curiosity rover that will be analyzing the rock samples. The flat slabs of rock that Curiosity has drilled into have been called John Klein after a Curiosity engineer who died in 2. Mars Curiosity Rover drilled a hole in a rock on Mars and collected powder samples for analysis. The Curiosity engineers waited 6 months before using the drill tool.

The best way for them to do this is to analyze the inside of rocks. It is there to investigate whether this location ever supported life. Curiosity Rover is in Gale Crater, which is a deep bowl on Mars. The next step was turning the drill in the chosen rock to cut a hole that was 2cm deep.įinally, they drilled a second deeper hole that the sample was taken from. They checked the machinery was operating as it should by hammering it down on a rock target. NASA's Curiosity Rover drilled deep enough on Mars to get a powdered sample for analysis.
