This project is solving the Curiosity at Home challenge.

This project has two goals :

  • Create a small lego version of curiosity that can simulate all the actions of the Mars rover in "real-time".
  • Publish a set of RESTful Web Services that allow other developers to manipulate the MLS (Mars Science Laboratory) datas on Curiosity, and easily integrate them into apps and web applications.
