Rover Operations

Rover operations involve guiding and managing robotic vehicles on other planets, like Mars, to perform scientific research. This includes landing safely, navigating challenging terrain, conducting experiments, capturing images, and sending data back to Earth. Operations teams plan daily activities based on the rover's status, weather conditions, and mission goals, often using remote commands. These activities are carefully timed and coordinated to maximize scientific return while ensuring the rover's safety. Overall, rover operations balance exploration, data collection, and risk management to expand our understanding of other planetary surfaces.
