The rover’s cameras will be the machine’s “science-imaging workhorse,” according to the space agency.
Curiosity is going to launch in 2011.
Engineers, teaming up with Cameron, are just beginning work on the new 3D cameras being built for Curiosity , according to NASA. To make it on the new rover, they will have to be designed, assembled and tested before NASA begins its final testing of the rover early next year.
