Spirit, also known as MER-A (Mars Exploration Rover – A) or MER-2, is a Mars robotic rover, active from 2004 to 2010. [4] Spirit was operational on Mars for 2208 sols or 3.3 Martian years (2269 days ; 6 years, 77 days ).
PrOP-M on the manipulator arm of the lander Rover moving during a field testing Mars 3 Lander model at the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics in Moscow. PrOP-M is seen on top. PrOP-M is seen on top. The PrOP-M rover was designed and manufactured at the Mobile Vehicle Engineering Institute (VNIITransmash) by a team of approximately 150 engineers ...
Scientists have wanted to find out which of these processes created grey hematite on Mars since 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor spotted large concentrations of the mineral near the planet's equator (seen in the right picture). This discovery provided the first mineral evidence that Mars' history may have included water.
What makes this January moment special is that it means Mars will get the sun’s full glare, which will illuminate its appearance when people see the planet from Earth.
A STL 3D model of Mars with 20× elevation exaggeration using data from the Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter. Mars, 2001, with the southern polar ice cap visible on the bottom. North Polar region with icecap. Across a whole planet, generalisation is not possible, and the geography of Mars varies considerably.
Mars Color Imager on the right side. The Mars Color Imager (MARCI) is a wide-angle, relatively low-resolution camera built for Mars Climate Orbiter and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. MARCI views the surface of Mars in five visible and two ultraviolet bands. Each day, MARCI collects about 84 images and produces a global map with pixel resolutions ...
Mars Pathfinder [1] was an American robotic spacecraft that landed a base station with a roving probe on Mars in 1997. It consisted of a lander, renamed the Carl Sagan Memorial Station, and a lightweight, 10.6 kg (23 lb) wheeled robotic Mars rover named Sojourner, [4] the first rover to operate outside the Earth–Moon system.
