Having earlier tested its drilling capabilities, NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity has successfully used its drill to recover the first sample ever collected from the interior of a rock on another planet. The sample, taken from bedrock on Mars, will now be analysed by the In-Situ Martian Rock Analysis (CHIMRA) device in conjuction with the Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) instrument and Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument.
