Dear ROS developers, the NASA Curiosity Rover ROSject \
(https://rds.theconstructsim.com/tc_projects/use_project_share_link/ab7e9a02-8907-4208-996a-ba1f45c20db2) \
                is now open source for everyone. Ready-to-go project including:
- ROS code
- Gazebo simulation
- Mars environment
- Rviz config files
- Jupyter notebook with instructions


**About:**
This is a port to Gazebo-ROS of the Curiosity Mars Rover, including velocity control, \
mast control, odometry, camera and mars terrains.

It is based on the official 3D models issued published by the NASAJPL itself, \
including the Mars terrain map, which is based in real martial holography.

This ROSject is a first basic version of the Curiosity rover that went to Mars, check \
out all the footage and images generated by the real robot: \
https://mars.nasa.gov/msl/.

This ROSject serves as the foundation to further upgrades to make it as close as the \
real robot as possible. Its open for the community to make its own upgrades and \
contributions through ROSjects or the Git: \
https://bitbucket.org/theconstructcore/curiosity_mars_rover/src/master/.

This first version has totally functional 6 wheel drive and suspension, arm control \
and mast movement. It also has installed a Camera on the mas to start creating Vido \
Based navigation around Mars. Welcome to NASAJPL-ROSJECTS!
