Florida, United States of America (CNN) - launched the U.S. space agency "NASA" successfully Saturday cart Mars Hodeidah "Curjoosta" from its base in Florida in the latest attempt to explore the secrets of "Red Planet" and the search for the possibility of life on its surface, and study the life forms that may find in it one day and has remained etched in their rocks.
It is expected that the cart is working on Mars for two years, was scheduled to start its journey into space Friday, but scientists at the agency have postponed for an additional day in order to replace a battery.
It will be an important vehicle also search for influential factors in the emergence of life forms, such as water and energy resources, and some chemical components.
The vehicle "Curjoosta" the longest two and five times heavier than the previous two Mars rovers, "Spirit" and "Oobortinetta," as they carry much more scientific equipment than the previous two.
The new vehicle can search for water below the surface of Mars, and they can weather observation and measurement of radiation levels, and the wheels are able to overcome obstacles up to a height of 65 centimeters.
It is expected to take a trip "Curaozata" nine months of 2012 to land near the mountain on the planet Mars.
Earlier, he told Michael Mayer, the principal investigator for the NASA program to explore Mars, the mission will be launched to the mountain of rock layers in a series of Gale Crater, with a length of 5 kilometers, describing it as "a challenge worth exploring a new vehicle.
Meyer added that "the site (which will fall Sell a vehicle sounding) contains a distinct variety."
According to officials in the "NASA", the agency plans to refocus its efforts, of vehicles that have access to low orbits, to the other vehicles that can fathom the depths of deep space.
