Typically on teams like this youll have a few women, but a majority are men. I dont know of any other instruments on the Mars Curiosity Rover that has an all-female engineering team. The team of five women is responsible for sending commands to the ChemCam instrument, which shoots Martian rocks with a laser to determine their chemical make-up. It was developed at Los Alamos in conjunction with the French space agency and played a key role in the discovery of the existence of an ancient lake on the Red Planet.The team meets daily with planetary scientists from around the world, who identify which rocks on the surface of Mars to zap and analyze.
