Mars Exploration Rovers
This podcast discusses the rovers that are currently on Mars. There are two rovers named Spirit and Opportunity. They have been on the surface of Mars since 2004, and have outlived what they were expected. Within the past 6 years we have gained a better understanding about Mars than over the last billion years. The rovers have discovered land where there were traces of past water. The rovers are now searching through layers of sediment in search of water. They will be launching another mission this year in which they will launch an SUV-sized laboratory to probe Mars in search of life.
