Mars Rover Program

The Mars Rover Program is a series of robotic missions by NASA that send rovers—mobile scientific labs— to explore the surface of Mars. These rovers are equipped with cameras and instruments to analyze the soil, rock samples, and atmosphere, searching for signs of past life and studying the planet’s geology. Notable rovers include Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, and Perseverance. Each has contributed valuable insights into Mars' conditions, helping scientists understand its potential for supporting life and guiding future human exploration. The program enhances our understanding of the solar system and the possibility of life beyond Earth.
