Is life possible 
on Mars?
Pictures from space show that Mars 
is a cold, dry, and rocky planet. 
Scientists at NASA want to discover 
if life is or was possible on Mars. 
They’re searching for water and 
signs of life. But they aren’t sending 
astronauts to Mars. They’re using 
robots.
The 
Curiosity rover landed on Mars 
on August 6, 2012. It’s a robotic 
laboratory. The rover has seventeen 
special cameras and lots of other 
tools. It explores Mars, and it collects 
rock and soil samples. It can break 
rocks with a laser, and it collects 
samples with a special arm. Then 
it uses computers to study the 
samples, and it sends information 
back to Earth.
From this information, scientists 
know there was once water on Mars. 
Do you think the rover is going to 
fi nd 
signs of life?
