Summary

Description	English: This artist's concept depicts the rover Curiosity, of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission, as it uses its Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) instrument to investigate the composition of a rock surface. ChemCam fires laser pulses at a target and views the resulting spark with a telescope and spectrometers to identify chemical elements. The laser is actually in an invisible infrared wavelength, but is shown here as visible red light for purposes of illustration. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington, and designed and built Curiosity. Polski: Łazik Curiosity przy pracy na Marsie (Wizja Artysty) Koncepcja artysty przedstawia należący do NASA łazik Curiosity, misji Mars Science Laboratory, podczas użycia urządzenia (ChemCam) do badania składu powierzchni skały. ChemCam strzela impulsami laserowymi do celu, którego niewielki fragment podgrzewa do temperatury plazmy i korzystając z lunety i spektroskopu dokonuje identyfikacji pierwiastków chemicznych. Laser w rzeczywistości pracuje w zakresie niewidzialnej fali podczerwonej, lecz na ilustracji wiązka lasera jest widoczna dla potrzeb edukacyjnych.
