ULA’s #Centaur III and Centaur V are key exploration enablers. The Centaur is the world’s highest-performing upperstage and Vulcan’s Centaur V provides 2.5 times the energy and 450 times the endurance of its predecessors, enabling the most complex orbital insertions within the most challenging and clandestine orbits. #ExplorationEnabled

From airbags to jetpacks, JPL engineers have been safely landing heavy spacecraft on Mars for nearly five decades. 12 years ago, @MarsCuriosity was the first to use the sky crane maneuver, a daring new technology that changed the way NASA explores Mars. go.nasa.gov/4fE8Dv6

ALT A GIF shows an animation of the Curiosity rover's landing on Mars. The animation shows the sky crane maneuver sequence as it hovers over the ground, drops the rover's compacted body from ropes, and then starts to lower to the surface.
