      ab: The article notes the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) planetary exploration missions in light of the rover Curiosity's landing on Mars on August 6, 2012. The article mentions the Curiosity mission or Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) might be the end of an era due to the engineering and robotic complexity needed for further planetary exploration. The Mars Pathfinder mission in 1996 with a Sojourner rover and the 2004 mission with Spirit and Opportunity rovers are mentioned. NASA's development of software for the missions is also mentioned.
