CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) spacecraft, sealed inside its payload fairing atop the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, blazes a trail into the skies above Space Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. MSL lifted off on the first opportunity at 10:02 a.m. EST Nov. 26, beginning a 9-month interplanetary cruise to Mars. MSL's components include a car-sized rover, Curiosity, which has 10 science instruments designed to search for signs of life, including methane, and help determine if the gas is from a biological or geological source.
