What the Curiosity Mars Rover Has Found After Thirteen Years of Exploration

The Curiosity Mars rover has been exploring Gale crater for over thirteen years, piecing together the history of Mars and its potential to support life, if it ever existed. Curiosity’s science team has determined that Mars once had all the conditions necessary to support life: it was a habitable planet. Dr. Vasavada is the lead scientist on the mission and will discuss these discoveries as well as the challenges of robotic exploration of another planet.
