Mars Rover (Curiosity, Perseverance)

Mars rovers, like Curiosity and Perseverance, are robotic vehicles designed to explore Mars' surface. They carry scientific instruments to analyze rocks, soil, and the atmosphere, helping scientists understand the planet's geology and potential habitability. Curiosity, launched in 2011, focused on assessing Mars' climate and habitability, while Perseverance, launched in 2020, aims to search for signs of past life and collect samples for future study. These rovers are autonomous to some extent, navigating obstacles and conducting experiments remotely, providing valuable insights into Mars' environment and its history.
