Mars Curiosity Rover
On 5 August NASA's Mars Science Laboratory, also known as Curiosity, is expected to touch down on Mars. It will be the biggest and most ambitious mission ever flown to the red planet. The nuclear-powered rover's destination is Gale crater, where it will climb a mound in the hope of teasing apart the planet's complicated environmental history. Nature presents a collection of our coverage of the mission and Mars science.
