Question

What was done to overcome the problem of the MSL landing?

Answer 1

Answer: "A parachute was used"

To solve the problem, engineers designed the assembly to cut off the parachute, and use rockets for the final part of the landing sequence. About 60 feet (18 m) above the surface, MSL's "sky crane" deployed. The landing assembly dangled the rover below the rockets using a 20-foot (6 m) tether.
