Imaging

Imaging is one branch that has to be considered quite carefully during the design of a rover. A major objective of a planetary rover is to explore new terrains, map out uncharted regions and take geological samples. To achieve these objectives....Read more

Communication

Communication is an extremely vital part for the construction of a successful Mars Rover. In order to prepare for human missions on Mars, rovers are constructed to collect useful information about the planet. This information in turn must be transmitted back....Read more

Power

Power sources available to the Robot Constructor are petrol, rechargeable electricity from solar batteries, or using the heat from nuclear fission to generate electricity....Read more

Materials

The future Rovers are more autonomous, and can fulfil daily assignments on their own, as they are able to carry all of their instruments with them instead of leaving them behind on the landing pod when roaming Mars' surface. One of the trickiest parts of the Mars Exploration mission is....Read more
