The Mars Science Laboratory Project presented multiple challenges of complexity for hardware QA personnel. Technical complexity was a major challenge. This is a one-of-kind never-before-been-built Spacecraft with a nuclear-powered Rover the size of a small SUV. It features a never-before-been-used Skycrane landing system featuring a Descent Stage which is a complex spacecraft within itself. Equally complex was figuring out how to support multiple activities at multiple facilities in this country and around the world at the same time.
