NASA’s space rovers have revolutionized our understanding of Mars, with successful missions like Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, and Perseverance. These robotic explorers travel across the Martian surface, taking detailed images and analyzing soil and rock samples. They are essential tools in the search for past life on Mars and understanding its geological history.
The Perseverance rover, for example, is currently tasked with collecting samples to be returned to Earth. This mission also focuses on studying the planet’s atmosphere and climate to help inform future human exploration of Mars.
