After almost a year, drilling is all set to begin on Mars by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover.

The robot had been commanded to examine several rock targets with all its survey instruments before it started drilling and the scientists and engineers will now assess the qualities of the powder produced from the new hole drilled in the Red Planet.
Curiosity had last used its drill set in May last year in a small depression not far from its August 2012 landing site.
