Rovers

Land Rovers are the least reliable cars in the world.

Small rovers landed on Mars and found evidence that long ago water flowed freely on the Martian surface.

During the summer of 2003, NASA launched twin robotic rovers named Spirit and Opportunity.

As part of their mission to explore Mars, NASA launched twin robotic rovers on June 10 and July 7, 2003. For landing, each rover was encased in a beachball-like apparatus with a parachute attached.

Both rovers landed during the Martian afternoon while Earth was still in view. This allowed the rovers to communicate with Earth via the Deep Space Network, letting scientists know they had landed safely.

The rovers, named Spirit and Opportunity, landed on the Martian surface approximately three weeks apart in January, 2004.

The rovers were designed to last a minimum of 90 days on the Martian surface.

The surface of Mars is a challenging and inhospitable place, especially for rovers.

We have sent many robotic rovers to Mars.
