MARS EXPLORATION ROVER PHOTOS National Aeronautics and Space Administration John F. Kennedy Space Center Kennedy Space Center, Florida 32899
Set to launch in 2003, the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Mission will consist of two identical rovers designed to cover roughly 110 yards each Martian day. Each rover will carry five scientific instruments that will allow it to search for evidence of liquid water that may have been present in the planet's past. The rovers will be identical to each other, but will land at different regions of Mars. The first rover has a launch window opening May 30, and the second rover, a window opening June 25, 2003.
