Rover Missions

Rover missions involve sending robotic vehicles, called rovers, to explore other planets or moons. These rovers are equipped with cameras, instruments, and tools to study the surface, analyze rocks and soil, and gather data about the environment and potential habitability. They communicate their findings back to Earth, helping scientists understand planetary geology, climate, and potential for life. Rovers like NASA's Curiosity and Perseverance are designed to navigate diverse terrains, conduct experiments, and assist in planning future human exploration by providing critical surface insights.
