Mars rovers

Red planet vehicles

Mars rovers are robotic vehicles designed to travel across the Martian surface, collecting data and images for scientific research.

NASA has landed several, including Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity.

The rovers analyze soil and rock samples, search for signs of water and past life, and test conditions for potential human exploration.

The Mars rover sent back stunning images of the red planet's terrain.
