WEBThe Mars Exploration Rover Mission. Spirit and Opportunity are identical twin robotic rov-ers that have gone far beyond their original scientific objectives to rewrite our understanding of the early his-tory of Mars. NASA sent these two “robotic geologists” on a 90-day mission to search for geological clues

WEBMars is one of the easiest planets to spot in the night sky – it looks like a bright red point of light. Despite being inhospitable to humans, robotic explorers – like NASA's Perseverance rover – are serving as pathfinders to eventually get …
WEBIn April 2004, two mobile robots named Spirit and Opportunity successfully completed their primary three-month missions on opposite sides of Mars and went into bonus overtime work. These twin vehicles of NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover project continued.
WEBOpportunity Rover Opportunity was built to last 90 sols, or Martian days. More than 5,000 sols later she's still making discoveries like these stone stripes on Mars, which resemble similar geology on Earth. She even took her first selfie using her microscopic imager. It was a little blurry—her camera wasn't made for selfies! Curiosity Rover

WEBThe rover hopes to find two things: 1) minerals altered in water, which is necessary to life as we know it, and 2) signs of organics, the chemical building blocks of life. That will help explain if Mars could have been a habitat in the past for small life forms called microbes.
