An SUV-size rover will roll across a seemingly alien red landscape this week, climbing slopes and maneuvering over rocks and other obstacles for the sake of exploration. But it's happening in Pasadena, California -- on Earth, not Mars. The NASA Perseverance rover launched in July and is currently on its way to Mars, with an expected landing date of February 18, 2021.
rover is incredibly similar to Perseverance in many ways. Both rovers have the same head, or remote sensing mast, top driving speed of 0.094 miles per hour , mobility system and size. Early next year, also has ethernet capabilities to send and receive data between itself and the engineers, rather than relying on the radios Perseverance uses to send and receive data across space.
comes from the team that put together the rover. Mars rovers of the past paved the way for NASA's newest explorer PerseveranceOn the one hand, it's an acronym: Operational Perseverance Twin for Integration of Mechanisms and Instruments Sent to Mars. But it's also a bit of a mantra for the team.
