Curiosity Killed the Cat


Cat mati, dibunuh Curiosity
More on Curiosity? Go here
:D
Dalam pukul 1.30 gitu Curiosity landed on Mars.
Watched it using video streaming from JPL (Jet Propulsion Lab) in California Institute of Technology.


 Their MCC


 Video streaming tu smooth je, xde sangkut :) Syiok tengok.


 Ni kire geng2 Warren la kalu kat ATSB.
*ouh memories


 Their tradition of passing and eating peanuts, for luck.


 
Peanuts.


 The computer simulation for Curiosity.
Rupa paras mende ni mcm UFO waktu dia masuk atmosfera Mars.
UFO from earth to Mars, hehe...
Mesti Martians (kalu wujud la kan), akan kata "Look, it's UFO!!"


Public pun boleh access simulation ni, cuma perlu ada Java plugin.


 Curiosity out of sky crane. Kirenye tengah tergantung kat cable lagi.
 The separation method ni, first time diorg pakai, sbb before ni pakai method lain.
Salah satu method lain, adalah drop the rover with belon2. Not actually belon, tapi lebih kepada mcm bubble wrap la utk menyerap hentakan sume. Tapi since Curiosity ni besar dan berat compared to previous vehicle, so kene pakai cara lain.


Yeah!!!! Curiosity has landed on Mars :D

 
Their first thumbnail image :D

 Comel mamat mohawk ni. Nanges sbb terharu gitu, ngaauuu...


 Ok, back to business.


Analysis team.


Reminiscing about Razaksat

**updated: that Mohawk guy is Bobak Ferdowsi
