Use SIP the Curjoosta U.S. for the first time drilling systems fitted on board during its mission to explore the surface of Mars.
And was able to machine tool ways to perform their work and roads briefly and without rotation in a rocky flat surface when the volcanic crater Gail dropped by the probe in August / August.
The images revealed before and after the operation for a gap resulting from road work tool.
In spite of the previous SIP enables vehicles scrape the surface of the rocks, the vehicle Curjoosta of the first that has the ability to drill inside.
And adopts the engineers and the U.S. space agency (NASA) a gradual approach in this process.
Engineers need always to conduct tests on the rock and the rig to make sure that the drilling process is going according to what is hoped-ones.
If engineers concluded that a suitable target surface, it is likely to hold the drill a number of holes on a test using a rotation in addition to click in the rock work, before taking a powder sample and transferred into the laboratory on aboard the vehicle Curjoosta.
The aim of task Curaossite to determine whether Gale crater may have seen a previous environments for bacterial life.
The details of the components of the rocks very important for this search as the sediments in this crater keeps a record of biological chemical conditions under which they formed.
And rock that have been selected to conduct the first drilling operation is a rock composed of very fine grain sedimentary pass through lines of calcium sulfate.
And carry this rock is also the name (John Klein) ratio of the late NASA engineer who worked on the project vehicle.
And scientists يخالج feeling excited as a result of what the job's progress so far. And show a lot of rocks and clear evidence on the existence of deposits contain water inside.
And could Curjoosta the discovery of a mixture containing a small round stones to indicate that there was running water in the past, it was likely represent a network of waterways.
The space Curjoosta the probe landed on the surface of the Red Planet on the sixth of August / August last year.
