25: Tech in Space - Roving the Moon and Mars (Part 2)

Which rovers have operated on Mars? How different is it to rove Mars compared to the Moon? What are the profound missions of Mars rovers? In the twenty-fifth episode of The Sound of Space podcast, we continue our conversations about rovers and direct our attention to the red planet - Mars. The exploration of Mars has largely relied on autonomous technology to date, and mobile robotics constitute a crucial surface component of the overall system. We will take a look at the journey of American and Chinese rovers as they navigated the barren landscape and sought insights into the Martian environment, its past, present, and future.
