The Mars Science Laboratory will be the fourth space mission launch this year by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. In June , Aquarius was launched to study the salinity of the sea; then in August Juno was launched to study the planet Jupiter. Last September, the twin GRAIL orbiters departed for the moon.
