Mars
Rovers 5 Years Later
Designed to
operate for only three months after arriving in January 2004, the Mars
Rovers Spirit and Opportunity still continue to function today almost
five years later. The two spacecraft have made amazing discoveries.
Each has also sent back to Earth incredible images from the surface
of Mars. Join us this month as we review what we've learned about the
red planet from the Rovers and more recently from the Mars Phoenix Lander.
We'll also look forward to some of the events of the International Year
of Astronomy.
Shown January 6, 13, 20, &
