Engineers put the rover through a human-made earthquake to make sure nothing
breaks during launch and its long trip to Mars.

  • those 5 spoke rims are dope..

  • 0:27 it got 5-spokes sporty rims!

  • That is a huge vacuum chamber. I wonder how long it takes to get to its minimum pressure and how much energy it costs to do so?

  • @eavs The drop test was the DTM rover (test rover that stays on Earth) while this is the flight rover. They build 2.

  • Really. The takeoff is going to be the most vibrations Curio will be subject to? This is a single stage rocket with no separation and ignition of a second stage? Why was the shake test in a clean room and the drop test wasn't? Or was that a Stark impersonator? :)

  • welcome at my synhronisity curiosity airforce typologic experiment

  • @crimsoncoin your comment amused me,thanks.

    How unserious can one get lol

  • 9th!

  • Can't wait until it flies This video is excellent for the classroom...the earthquake links to the launch and then the vacum chamber can open the floor for research on Mars' environment. Thank you :)

  • all the curiosity videos are great!
