About this work

Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Workers in the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility check the installation of the Mars Exploration Rover 1 (MER-1) inside the upper backshell. The two components will be attached to the lower heat shield. NASA's twin Mars Exploration Rovers are designed to study the history of water on Mars.

Credit lineKENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Workers in the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility check the installation of the Mars Exploration Rover 1 (MER-1) inside the upper backshell. The two components will be attached to the lower heat shield. NASA's twin Mars Exploration Rovers are designed to study the history of water on Mars. These robotic geologists are equipped with a robotic arm, a drilling tool, three spectrometers, and four pairs of cameras that allow them to have a human-like, 3D view of the terrain. Each rover could travel as far as 100 meters in one day to act as Mars scientists' eyes and hands, exploring an environment where humans can't yet go. MER-1 is scheduled to launch June 25 as MER-B aboard a Delta II rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.. NASA/KSC, 2003-05-15. Public domain. ID: KSC-03pd1599.
