Mars Exploration Rover
Mars Exploration Rover on the surface of Mars, artwork. The first of two identical NASA rovers, Spirit, landed on Mars on 4 January 2004. The second, Opportunity, landed on the other side of the planet on 24 January 2004. The rovers are powered by solar panels (black) and are mobile. Cameras mounted on the white mast give scientists panoramic views of the Martian surface. This enables them to instruct the rovers which rocks to analyse and where to look for water. Tools on board the golf buggy-sized rovers include spectrometers for analysing rock samples, a microscope and an abrasion tool. Each rover has a 90-day mission on the surface of Mars

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the groundbreaking Mars Exploration Rover, a true marvel of American technology and ingenuity. The artwork captures the moment when Spirit, the first of two identical NASA rovers, touched down on the mysterious surface of Mars on January 4th, 2004. Its counterpart, Opportunity, landed just twenty days later on the other side of this enigmatic planet. Equipped with solar panels that power its mobile capabilities, these golf buggy-sized rovers are equipped with an array of cutting-edge tools and cameras mounted on their white mast. These cameras provide scientists with panoramic views of the Martian landscape, enabling them to meticulously instruct the rovers where to analyze rocks and search for signs of water. The rover's arsenal includes spectrometers for analyzing rock samples in detail, a microscope for closer examination, and even an abrasion tool for further investigation. Each rover embarked upon a 90-day mission to explore Mars' surface and unlock its secrets. This awe-inspiring illustration highlights not only humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge but also our unwavering spirit of exploration. As we venture into uncharted territories like never before, these technological wonders serve as our eyes and hands in this distant world beyond ours - revealing new insights about our place in the universe. This image is a testament to NASA's commitment to scientific research and discovery as they continue their incredible journey through space exploration.
