A WORD FROM THE MODEL CREATOR
“I am a Mechanical Engineer who worked on the actual Curiosity rover at the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory. I combined this first-hand experience with my LEGO
®
hobby
to create a LEGO
®
model that was as faithful to the actual rover as possible in terms
of accuracy, details, and mechanical function, while remaining at a reasonable size.”
“The primary purpose of this effort has been to contribute to the educational
outreach for this incredible mission. It is my hope that this model encourages the
public support that is integral to the continued development and exploration of
outer space.”
Once it was decided that the Curiosity model was going to be produced, a team
of experienced LEGO
®
designers evaluated the design and suggested some minor
improvements to ensure a LEGO
®
building experience that matches the standards
of our own designs.
