Main Mission
Curiosity's main mission was to find organism in the mars, and it also use instrument to anaylze the atmosphere by gathering information of wind, temperature, and humidity. Also, it analyze the soil of the mars. As most of the Mars Rover did, it's another mission was to find water.
Size of Curiosity
The size of cuirosity is twice bigger than spirit or opportunity. Cuiriosity is 2.9 meter long by 2.7 meter wide by 2.2 meter in height, the biggiset Mars Rover.
Curiosity's instrument
One of the most useful instrument is robot arm. Curiosity's robot arm can take a picture, and it also take some samples and analyze it. It can reach and analyze the thing which placed very high so that find more information about the Mars. Curiosity also has a lazer on his camera. It will fire a lazer which is 30 feet away and analyze the composition of vaporized bits. Curiosity fire a lazer because robotic arm cannot move very long distance and high distance. It has a limited space to move. So NASA attached the lazer to reinforce this.
