The Mars Science Laboratory will be the largest, most complex probe yet sent to another planet. Lockheed Martin recently delivered to NASA the largest, most complex heat shield ever built for a probe. Also delivered was a shell to protect MSL's rover, Curiosity, to protect it during the fiery ride through the atmosphere of Mars.
MSL was originally scheduled to launch this summer, but budget problems delayed the mission until 2011.
