Celebrating the wonder- Mars Rover 'Curiosity'
Human minds have been wondering every night since long back ancient times looking at sky. The inquisitive minds have always been interested in exploring the exotic worlds. The quest for another intelligent race and new habitats in universe is getting interesting day by day. To add to this quest the NASA mission "Curiosity" is set to explore our neighbor mars.

This Event is to commemorate and celebrate the scientific wonder that is the Mars Rover 'Curiosity'. Being dubbed as the Mars Space Lab, Curiosity gives us a fighting chance now to understand the mysteries of the planet that we hold so dear in our extra-terrestrial fantasies. Signs of water, soil and atmosphere conditions are some of the properties that Curiosity will study on Mars. Its landing at 11pm IST on 6th August.

  • This is more a motivational talk on why we are interested so much in mars + what makes this mission so much interesting?
  • We will have a overview of the cutting edge technologies involved.
  • We have with us a personal recorded message from MSI President Dr. Robert Zubrin, and a dedicated video of the rover assembly and Curiosity mission from Jet Propulsion Lab, NASA and a lot more!
Everybody is invited. See you soon! :)
