How does the Mars rover move around Mars?

On wheels, driven by electrical motors. It moves very slowly, transmitting pictures and data to an orbiting relay station and then to Earth; controllers on Earth review the data, and transmit new commands to the Mars rovers. Think of it as the solar system's slowest radio-controlled toy car.

Several rovers have been sent to Mars, including Sojourner (1997), Spirit (2004), Opportunity (2004), Curiosity (2012), and Perseverance (2021). Sojourner was part of NASA's Mars Pathfinder mission, while Spirit and Opportunity were twin rovers from the Mars Exploration Rover mission. Curiosity is part of the Mars Science Laboratory mission, and Perseverance is part of the Mars 2020 mission. Each rover has contributed significantly to our understanding of the Martian environment and geology.


How many rovers are there in the world?
