The Curiosity payload carried to Mars by the MSL spacecraftis about twice as long and five times as heavy as the Spiritand Opportunity Mars exploration rover payloads of earlier U.S. Mars missions, and carries over ten times the mass of scientific instruments. The MSL spacecraft that transportedCuriosity to Mars successfully carried out a more accurate landing than previous spacecraft to Mars, aiming for a small target landing ellipse of only 7 by 20 km (4.3 by 12 mi), in the Aeolis Palus region of Gale Crater. In the event, MSL delivered its payload only 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) from the center of the target. This location is near the mountain Aeolis Mons (a.k.a. "Mount Sharp") The rover mission is set to explore for at least 687 Earth days (1 Martian year) over a range of 5 by 20 km (3.1 by 12 mi).NASA anticipates that the rover will function for at least the limit the parts were tested for, which is four years.
