About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Backdropped by the Atlas V rocket standing inside the Vertical Integration Facility at Space Launch Complex 41, the multi-mission radioisotope thermoelectric generator (MMRTG) for NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission, enclosed in the mesh container known as the "gorilla cage," is removed from its trailer. The generator will be lifted up to the top of the rocket and installed on the MSL spacecraft, encapsulated within the payload fairing.
