Mars Lander

A Mars lander is a robotic spacecraft designed to descend and touch down safely on the surface of Mars. It carries instruments and equipment to study the planet's geology, climate, and potential habitability. Unlike orbiters that circle Mars, landers remain on the surface to conduct detailed scientific experiments directly. They often serve as platforms for rovers or other missions, transmitting data back to Earth. Engineering a Mars lander involves complex navigation and braking technology to endure the entry, descent, and landing process in Mars' thin and challenging atmosphere.
