Ultimate Mars Challenge (2012) | Full Documentary | NOVA
In its search for life beyond Earth, NASA employs a "sky crane" maneuver to land the Curiosity rover on Mars. Mars may once have harbored life—and may harbor it still. The landing of the rover Curiosity means that the most sophisticated robot ever is roving the Mars surface. Will NASA's bold mission and this marvel of technology answer some of our biggest questions and usher in a new golden age of exploration? NOVA goes behind the scenes on NASA's quest to solve the riddles of the red planet.
