Sky Crane 03

Thank you, everyone, for supporting my LEGO CUUSOO model of the Curiosity Rover.

 

Digital model files for the Sky Crane are now available on Rebrickable! It has been split into three components, the Curiosity Rover (MOC-0271), the Descent Stage (MOC-0288), and the Sky Crane Stand (MOC-0287). Enjoy!

 

This is a model of the Sky Crane configuration of the Mars Science Laboratory, showing the Curiosity rover being lowered from the Descent Stage on a set of three cables. The real rover was lowered about 25 feet (7.6 meters), while this model depicts a much shorter separation.
