Curiosity Rover

NASA Mars Science Laboratory rover (landed 2012-08-06, operating). Drives with onboard AutoNav (think-while-driving terrain assessment and autonomous hazard avoidance); ground operators select daily targets and routes, the rover handles the traverse. Autonomous navigation, NOT autonomous mission planning.

Yes. Curiosity Rover is independently verified in real-world operation on the DEPLOY registry, confirmed at named deployment sites with primary sources: not a concept, render, or demo-only.

Curiosity Rover is made by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, based in Pasadena, California, USA, founded in 1936.

1 verified deployment of Curiosity Rover is on the DEPLOY registry, including at Mars.

Curiosity Rover is in commercial deployment and is sold to operators; contact the manufacturer to buy, and see the pricing section for any recorded price.
