Mars rovers have motors in each wheel because it allows for more precise control of movement, better traction on uneven terrain, and the ability to navigate challenging obstacles. Having separate motors in each wheel also provides redundancy in case one motor fails, ensuring the rover can continue to operate effectively.
the two rovers are:- Spirit and Opportunity.
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.
As of 2021, there are several active Mars rovers, such as Perseverance and Curiosity. In addition to Mars rovers, there are other robotic rovers deployed on celestial bodies like the Moon and other planets. The exact number of rovers in operation worldwide varies as missions launch and conclude.
So far, Nasa has successfully acquired four Mars rovers: the Mars Pathfinder, Sojourner, Opportunity, and the Spirit. These were managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Mars Science Laboratory.

The Mars rover has six wheels. Each wheel is made of aluminum and is 20 inches in diameter.
Mars rovers were made sometime in the 1970's
No one has sent 15 rovers to Mars
All of their Mars Rovers have wheels.
the two rovers are:- Spirit and Opportunity.
They are taken there, by spacecraft.

As of November 2016 there are two operational Mars rovers: Opportunity and Curiosity.
