 In the corners of the descent stage seen the four pairs with the step rocket engines. We clearly see the bottom of the Curiosity of the six wheels.

The six yellow circles that we see the different angles at the top, the landing radar to the descent stage.

The nuclear-powered thermoelectric generator is not yet fitted into the back of Curisoity (bottom)

it is small compared to the two halves of the payload cover it to hide in during launch

 the end of the robot arm in front of Curiosity

Up to the left of the camera mast, up to the right seen verktøy-/instrumentplattformen the end of the robotic arm.

Legend:
1) Drill / drill,
2) Røntgenspektrometer,
3) Tools for taking soil samples and preparing them before handover to the scientific instruments for analysis,
4) Dust Brush and
5) Field Camera Lens

 Key:

1) container for the parachute,

2) Freight stage,

3) Back shell,

4) descent stage,

5) Nylon Cords (green) and cable (purple) between the descent stage and Curiosity,

6) Curiosity

7) heat shield

 In the background we can see right up into the back shell. There we see descent step and Curiosity from below.

The four pairs of red circles is the rocket engines for the descent stage.

The white rectangle is the base of Curiosity with the rear end down.

On each side there are three wheels.

The six yellow circles that we see the different angles at the top, the landing radar to the descent stage.

The four pairs of nozzles for rocket engines are clearly brought out in the edges of the spacecraft. The structure that juts out towards the right, landing radar. It shall be the end of the landing phase, providing data on height, horizontal and vertical speed that is essential for a successful landing.

One of the last that was done was to assemble into the nuclear-powered thermoelectric generator.

It was mounted in the blank here "tail" behind the vehicle

On the right side of the back shell is still open where the nuclear-powered thermoelectric generator later in to be fitted to Curisoity.

At the top is a laser with a special camera. During the sitting the two mast cameras practically up to the mast.

Outside the mast cameras sit two pairs with the navigation camera.

Key:

1) Meteorological instruments at weather station,

2) mast cameras and navigation cameras,

3) Chemistry Camera with Laser,

4) UHF antenna for communications with the spacecraft in Mars orbit,

5) Radioactive driven thermoelectric generator,

6) Round Beam Antenna,

7) Hexagonal, directional antenna with a diameter of about 30 cm,

8) Instrument for measuring nøytronintensitet,

9) Wheels,

10) Particle Radiation detector,

11) Descent Camera,

12) Verktøy-/instrumentplattformen the end of the robotic arm,

13) robot arm. In addition, there are two instruments inside the body of Curiosity: chemical / mineral instrument and sample analysis of Mars.
