Angry Birds teams up with NASA for new update

Rovio has teamed up with NASA for the latest free update to Angry Birds Space.

The pigs have stolen the Curiosity Mars Rover to search for new eggs and it's up to the birds to stop them.

The update adds 20 levels and a new astronauts pig. Finding hidden rovers and landers will open up special bonus levels.

Associate administrator for communications at NASA, David Weaver, said: "Rovio is teaching huge new audiences about NASA's missions to Mars thanks to this collaboration.

"It's a great way to introduce both kids and adults to the wonders of the planet in a fun and entertaining way."

Check out the trailer below.

The Curiosity Mars Rover DLC is available to download now on iOS and Android.
