After a seven month space journey spanning almost half a billion kilometers, NASA's latest planetary mission has kicked off with a successful touchdown.
The vehicle will collect geological samples that for the first time will be brought back to Earth to be analysed for signs of ancient microscopic life.
It also carries a helicopter drone which, if it operates successfully, will perform our first powered flight on another planet.
