August 6, 2012 - Now that the Curiosity Mars rover has landed safely (yes!!!), we thought you might be interested to see how all that technology was designed and tested.

This video shows some of the work the University of Leicester has done with NASA and Siemens PLM Software to help develop different spacecraft.

Siemens has also uploaded images of the actual rover modeling on this web page http://inr.synapticdigital.com/Siemens/MarsRover/.

Enjoy!
