About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — The aeroshell enclosing Mars Exploration Rover 2 and lander is being moved to a rotation table for a spin stabilization test. There are two identical rovers that will land at different regions of Mars and are 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.
