Passed only seven weeks to begin the task of Curaossite space probe on the surface of Mars, but the probe already found evidence that he was on the planet was flowing water.
As the picture transfer SIP blocks made up of rocky gravel and sand.
Followers scientists say the task of the probe size and shape of the gravel blocks rocky stream shows that led to the erosion of water and move it from place. The researchers believe that the probe discovered a network of ancient currents.
There is a high probability that the rock mass around since several billion years. He described the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, NASA's rocky these blocks during a press conference.
But the actual water currents probably continued on the surface for long periods of time, according to what the world says co-Bill Dietrich, of the University of California at Berkeley.
And managed satellites on Mars to capture images of channels on the surface of the planet was formed with the flow of the water stream.
And progress of Curaossite job on Mars at the mouth "Gail" first field assurances on these observations.
As over SIP chance to next great model of the rock blocks, where he was lifting a large piece a 10-15 Centemitr of thick on the ground.
He says the world participating in the project Curaossite John Grotzenjr: "launched by the name 'Huta'." The name refers to a lake in the Northwest Territories, Canada. The task team names quotes from this region fired on the things that are found in the "Gail".
The scientists currently studying images gravel constituent blocks of rock. And may be useful shape and size of gravel to identify the speed of the water flow in the past, and the distance which they spread.
This site is located, which is being explored between the northern edge of the abyss and a huge mountain that stands out from the easy-East.
The previous images of the region to the possibility of the presence of water features there. And supports the rock masses carried Curaossite by studying this hypothesis.
The current interpretation is that the probe is located near the materials paid on the walls of the crater and through easy intersecting with many other currents.
Participants also keen scientists to study the chemistry of rock masses, because it will give an indication of the nature of water, which could give provides information on the shape of the environment at the time.
At this time, heading the probe to a place known as the "Glenelg". Scientists believe that this will give them the best chance to reach the rock masses place of interest.
And arrived at the mission and the U.S. space agency, which costs $ 2.6 billion to the Red Planet on the sixth of August / August.
Funding is available for studies conducted SIP Curaossite for two-year Erdaan. The probe is trying to find out whether the environment around the nozzle supported "Gale" supported microbial life than ever before.
