NASA’s Curiosity Rover completed a year on Mars this August 5. Martians being an unfriendly bunch didn’t quite show up for the party, and poor Curiosity was left alone on his birthday, working all day like the hardworking rover it is. NASA decided to play a little Happy Birthday tune for Curiosity, making use of the rover’s SAM (Soil Analysis at Mars).
SAM is a tiny chemistry laboratory aboard Curiosity that often makes use of vibrations on its experiments. Using this tool, they managed to play a little tune for Curiosity and make its birthday that much more special.
