Wanneer het ruimtevaartuig met een snelheid van bijna 21.000 km\/u de atmosfeer binnenstormt, breken de \u2018zeven minuten van angst\u2019 aan. Als alles volgens plan verloopt, zal het complexe systeem voor binnenkomst, afdaling en landing de snelheid van het ruimtevaartuig terugbrengen tot minder dan 3,6 km\/u. Een soort \u2018sky crane\u2019 zal MSL vervolgens voorzichtig op het oppervlak van de Gale-krater laten zakken.<\/p>\n<p>Nadat de robotauto op de grond is gezet richt de Mars Express zich naar de aarde om de opgenomen gegevens naar het ESOC te seinen. Die gegevens worden direct doorgestuurd naar NASA.<\/p>\n<p>De landing is het begin van een ongelofelijk verkenningsprogramma om te onderzoeken of er ooit leven op Mars is geweest.
