Archivo: Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft heat shield and back shell PIA14757
Descripción: Connecting Curiosity's Heat Shield and Back Shell At the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the "back shell powered descent vehicle" configuration, containing NASA's Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity, is being placed on the spacecraft's heat shield. The heat shield and the spacecraft's back shell together form an encapsulating aeroshell that will protect the rover from the intense heat that will be generated as the flight system descends through the Martian atmosphere.
