MARS ROVER set to seek signs of habitable planet
NASA launches the Mars rover "Curiosity" on Saturday, a daring bid to find clues that the Red Planet has the essential chemical ingredients needed for life. Despite that goal, space agency officials behind the $2.5billion rover, formally known ...
When will be the MARS ROVER sent to the mars?
Do we know exact date of rover to mars?
Edward, if there are rovers on the mars surface, then why are there no videos of good quality of mars inside the atmosphere? I really wish to see how mars looks inside with a good quality video which is colored, not black and white...
Answer: Mars already has two rovers, "Spirit" and "Opportunity". They have been operating on Mars' surface for about seven years, although Spirit may have recently gotten stuck in a cold location and poorly exposed to the Sun, and, subsequently, didn't get enough solar power to survive the last Martian winter.
The next Mars rover, named "Curiosity", is scheduled for launch November 25, 2011.

How did the MARS ROVER get to Mars?
Im just curious on how the Mars rover got to Mars after it left Earth and how it knew which direction to go exactly for the 7 month period it was in space, cause outer space is a big place. Lol
And how did it get to Mars since there is no control in space and you cant really move anywhere since theres no gravity, did it just float to Mars or was it powered by a rocket the entire time?

How was the MARS ROVER balloon lander thing able to right itself after it deflates?
i watched nasa sim of it and after the balloons deflate the rover comes out and voild --its right side up.
??
sposed to say --"voila!"
injanier --i didnt see the uprighting part in wiki --thanks!
Answer: The capsule that held the rover was a tetrahedron - four triangular sides, one of which was the base. A sensor on the lander figured out which face was down. If it wasn't the base, it opened the side that was facing down, which would flip the lander onto its base. Then the other sides open up and the rover can roll out.

MARS ROVER Curiosity Takes Off
Mars rover Curiosity successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida the morning of November 26, beginning its eight-month journey to the Red Planet.
How long does it take the MARS ROVER to send us photos from Mars?
I know it takes the pictures and then sends them to Earth, but how long does that take?
Answer: I am looking for specific answers as to how long it takes at the moment, but I will give you a general answer. At its closest to Earth, Mars is only 36 million miles away, if we are both on the same side of the sun at the same time. However if we are on one side of the sun and Mars is on the exact opposite that distance can be as great as 250 million miles. So at its closest approach you are looking at about 3.25 minutes for a radio signal to make it from Mars to the Earth. At the furthest you're at a bit over 22 minutes.
Using NASA's solar system simulator and purely eyeballing the distance I would say Mars is somewhere near a middle point in its distance at the moment, so probably in the 10-15 minute range. It takes Mars 687 days to orbit the sun to the Earths 365, so we are currently moving away from Mars as each day goes by.

The MARS ROVER was deployed on the surface of Mars in July 1997.?
The Mars rover was deployed on the surface of Mars in July 1997. At one point during its subsequent mission, radio signals took about 18 min to travel from Earth to the rover. How far was Mars from the from Earth at that time?
Answer: 18 light minutes. (Just enter it into google for the conversion of units you want. I'll give you a hint, it's more than 300million KM (16 light minutes would be that... double the distance to the Sun).

Will it be a lot more expensive (than the price of the MARS ROVER) for NASA to send a rover?
(like the Mars rover)
to Planet Jupiters moon Europa to do some preliminary testing for possible life on Europa?
Answer: Yes, a Jovian Rover would have to be much tougher due to Jupiter's huge gravity and turbulent atmosphere. It would have to avoid being sucked into its atmosphere, on approach to Europa and would require lots of fuel. Then there is the electronic magnetic interpherence as most radioactive particles are drawn toward toward it so any electronic equipment would have to be well shielded.

MARS ROVER is still running and we drive to work using a century old combustion engine, WHY?
Given, the Mars rover is still running on solar panels, giving off 0 emissions, a technological marvel and is 36 million miles away. The primary form of transportation on earth is the century old combustion engine, spewing off emissions. Regardless as to whether the earth or humanity will succumb to the effects of our dirty habits, why do we allow this to happen?
Did you know that we get enough energy from the sun in about 2 hours to provide all of the worlds energy needs?
The point is, we have the technology, Mars rover, Nuclear powered subs, Cern, but we cruise around in vehicles with combustion engines.
Answer: I brought up the same question at work, the rover has been going for a long time and I'm not sure but I don't think there are any gas stations on mars!
People need to stop using gas and force a change, as long as the oil companies make billions per quarter they will continue to pay everyone off so they can continue to use gas.
Check out the movie, who killed the electric car. it's an eye opening experience.

How do we recieve a signals from a rover on Mars?
I assume the Mars rover has a small antenna with a low power transmitter. If this is the case how does that signal get reicieved all the way on earth? Is there some sort of satellite relay system? It seems to me that it would be difficult to discern the signal from all the random noise. Maybe some sort of special encoding is used on the signal. I dont know....does anyone know the answer?
Answer: As far as i know both Rovers do only have a UHF transmitter making them incapable sending something directly to earth.
Instead they relay(ed) data through Mars Odyssey, Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Express and possibly the new Reconaissance Orbiter.
if Transmitter Power is limited it needs large antennas to even receive signals from the satellites around mars, due to the fact that it could be on the other side of the sun, from time to time.
Distance and lack of power causing effects of course. So therefore they switch to lower transmission speeds, and use algorithms to be able to reconstruct lost bits in the stream.
This was all considered on planning, so it was decided not to have the rovers transmit directly.
Instead having redundant orbiters to relay which have no problems with sand on their solar-panels.

Why are the MARS ROVER pictures in black and white?
Why are all the raw Spirit and Opportunity rover pics in black and white? You would think with modern technology (the rovers launched in 2004) they would transmit color pics. So why do it in B&W?
Answer: Most pictures (whether these are or not) taken from space craft are imaged with high quality monochrome sensors through various filters - if done through red/blue/green, etc., this allows producing color images, but it also allows doing UV and other influences. A monochrome sensor can have a much higher pixel count than a color sensor where not only is everything divided by three but there is more space in between sensor pixels.

Theyve sent a rover to Mars. Why havent they sent anything to the moon recently?
The Mars rover sent back some excellent high quality photos of Mars. Why dont they send a rover to the moon to get some decent photos and videos with todays technologies there. I mean all weve got is those grainy videos from 40 years ago of Neil Armstrong taken when video technology was in its infancy.
Answer: Grainy videos? Decent photo's? Video in its infancy? Can I suggest a very good web site to correct that assumption? It does not contain everything but its a start.
Getting the signal back and fore was quite a feat. Second link. Remember it was not just a certain Mr Armstrong.
Mars, not just the rovers. There are a few resources there at the moment. There is a mission to Mercury and Venus. Saturn system is getting a good look over including a probe on Titan. There are quite a few more missions. None of them ever had a man land on them. So I suppose its only fair the rest get a good slice of the budget.
I would disagree with the Moon being dull. It holds many secrets and probably involved with life on earth getting off to a good start.
