About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — While workers watch the process, the petals on the lander close up around the Mars Exploration Rover 2 (MER-A). The lander and rover will be enclosed within an aeroshell for launch. The MER Mission consists of two identical rovers designed to cover roughly 110 yards each Martian day over various terrain. 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.
