Mars rover gets set for laser blasts

'Target practice' for laser zapper

The mission's purpose is to analyze Martian rock and soil to determine whether the planet's chemistry could have supported life in Mars' ancient past, when the planet was wetter and warmer than it is today. The car-sized, 1-ton Curiosity rover has 10 scientific instruments to do the job ? including its ChemCam imaging system, which incorporates a laser powerful enough to vaporize tiny spots of rock.
