Rovers

Rovers are the culmination of decades of progress in robotics, artificial intelligence, and exploration technologies. They are equipped with high-resolution cameras, spectrometers, and other scientific instruments that allow us to analyze and interpret data collected on the surface of other planets. The Mars rovers - Curiosity, Opportunity, and Perseverance - have been instrumental in our understanding of the red planet’s geology, atmosphere, and potential for supporting life. Rovers are a critical tool in our quest to explore and understand our solar system and beyond.
