A space rover is a type of robotic vehicle designed to explore the surface of other celestial bodies, such as planets, moons, or asteroids. Unlike orbiters that stay in orbit around a celestial body, rovers are capable of moving across the surface to conduct scientific investigations and gather data. Equipped with various instruments, cameras, and tools, space rovers can analyze soil samples, take images, and study the geological features of the terrains they traverse. They are typically remote-controlled by scientists on Earth or programmed to perform tasks autonomously. Rovers have played crucial roles in missions to Mars, the Moon, and other destinations, contributing to our understanding of the solar system. Notable examples include NASA’s Spirit and Opportunity rovers on Mars, as well as the more recent Perseverance rover.
