Around 5 pm Martian time, it will wait for one of NASA's three satellites orbiting the planet to pass overhead. Curiosity will then send several hundred megabytes of scientific data via large ground antennae to its human masters on Earth. A miniature lab On the ground floor of building 34 at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, scientists pore over Curiosity's data every day at 1 pm, in a large windowless room full of scientific instruments and computers. The scientists are looking for any indication of life on Mars. Inside Curiosity lies a "marvel of miniaturization," says Charles Malespin, the deputy principal investigator for Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM), a chemist's lab the size of a microwave oven. "It's the most complicated instrument NASA has ever sent to another planet." SAM analyzes samples of Martian soil by heating them in an oven that reaches 1,000 Celsius. The hot rocks release gas, which is separ...
