Viking 2 
on Mars 
(1975) 
















International Collaborations 
1. Scientists and engineers from many countries collaborate on Curiosity's 
mission. People all over the world will benefit from the new knowledge 
the rover sends back from Mars. 
2. Spain, Russia and Canada have contributed scientific investigations and 
associated experiment instruments for NASA's rover. Tracking stations in 
Australia, Spain and California will provide two-way communication with 
the spacecraft. 
3. In the U.S. alone, more than 800 people across the country have directly 
contributed to planning, designing, building, testing and assembling 
hardware for the Mars Science Laboratory. 
4. Scientists and engineers from university and other research labs came 
together many years before the mission was even proposed to figure out 
the main questions we want to ask about Mars, and what kinds of 
experiments are needed on the surface to ask those questions.
