In order to exploring Mars surface NASA developed twin exporation rovers named Opportunity and Spirit. These twin robot geologists is a part of NASA’s Mars Exploration Program were launched to Mars on June 10 and July 7 of 2003 and succesfully landed on Mars in January 4 and January 25 of 2004. The twion robots are part of NASA’s long term mission in exploring the Mars surface with robotics. The mission of these robots was searching the wide range of rocks and soils characteristic in order to find clues of past water activity in this planet. Beside performing the scientific investigation the robots also taking panoramic pictures in order to provide scientists with important information about geological target for further investigation.
Some called this car concept as “perhaps this is a car, or what?” Ora Ito designed a genetic transformation of future vehicle.
