	Mars Rover Beginning To Hate Mars \| The Onion - America's Finest News Source
		However, scientists estimate that, in recent weeks, Spirit has been functioning on the level of a rover who has been on Mars for approximately 6,160 sols.
		But as the winter lingered, Spirit began producing thousands of pages of sometimes rambling and dubious data, ranging from complaints that the Martian surface was made up almost entirely of the same basalt, to long-winded rants questioning the exorbitant cost and scientific relevance of the mission.
		NASA remains optimistic that the rover will remain at least partially operational for the foreseeable future.

	MARS Rover Virtual Reality Panoramic images - 360 degree QTVR Photos from panoramas.dk
		This is the Spirit panoramic camera's "Lookout" panorama, acquired on the rover's 410th to 413th martian days, or sols (Feb. 27 to Mar. 2, 2005).
		The view is from a position known informally as "Larry's Lookout" along the drive up "Husband Hill." The summit of Husband Hill is the far peak near the center of this panorama and is about 200 meters (656 feet) away from the rover and about 45 meters (148 feet) higher in elevation.
		The bright rocky outcrop near the center of the panorama is part of the "Cumberland Ridge," and beyond that and to the left is the "Tennessee Valley."

		The $400 million rover, expected to send back its first color postcards from Mars within a day, also comes equipped with an unprecedented array of scientific instruments, which could help determine whether the cold, desert world once was a warm, wet planet.
		Golombek and others on the rover team have adopted a Mars schedule, coordinating their waking and sleeping patterns with Martian days, which are nearly 40 minutes longer than those on Earth.
		Each of the new rover, however, is built to explore nearly as much territory in several days as Sojourner covered in three months, about 100 yards.

	History of the Land Rover Marque
		The Land Rover was launched in April 1948 at the Amsterdam motor show, it was originally designed as a short term project to keep the Rover car company busy until the depressed post - war car market started to pick up.
		By this time, the Land Rover was beginning to take shape, with an appearance that remained almost unchanged for over 25 years.
		Although many are still in daily use, the lack of refinement means that they are ideal for use as a work horse around the farm, and stables, or possibly as a second or third family vehicle.

		One of our goals in designing the rover was to create a robot that could autonomously navigate in the dynamic environment of the home.
		Another goal in designing the rover was to create a user interface that would be easy to use without limiting creativity and that would draw the user in over an extended period of time.
		A simple version of the rover, called a Trikebot, was used this summer to teach a robotics course for 30 high school students in California.

	The rover page
		Many rovers attempt to visit as many grid squares as possible, a practice encouraged by the ARRL rules (which award an extra multiplier for each grid square visited during the contest period).
		The response was a rover scoring system, introduced in 1991, that some have called "megascoring." The contacts and multipliers from all locations were aggregated and the sums were then multiplied, producing enormous total scores.
		However, it became clear over the years that rovers still have an edge in scoring opportunities, especially when two or more rovers travel together so they all can work the rare multipliers that they are handing out to others.

	Electrostatic Charging of the Pathfinder Rover (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A Paschen discharge between active components within the rover, or between the rover and its surroundings, represents a parasitic conducting path for electric current, resulting in system power loss, cross and/or short circuit phenomena, and electromagnetic noise.
		While, in the nominal mission on Mars, the rover will only travel a few meters per day, this distance was shown to be sufficient for significant charge to accumulate.

	Mars rover rolls off the lander
		JPL received word back from the rover that it was on the surface of Mars.
		After a slow and cautious two-day, 115-degree swivel-in-place on its triangular landing platform, putting the rover in a north-northwest-facing direction, the golf cart-size vehicle slowly crept down one of the lander's stretch-fabric ramps, moving 3 meters (10 feet) in 78 seconds.
		Meanwhile, the rover's software was compressing images of the rolloff from the rover's hazard-identification and navigational cameras that would slowly dribble back to Earth.

	Mars Exploration: Missions
		Mars Pathfinder was originally designed as a technology demonstration of a way to deliver an instrumented lander and a free-ranging robotic rover to the surface of the red planet.
		It was chosen because scientists believed it to be a relatively safe surface to land on and one which contained a wide variety of rocks deposited during a catastrophic flood.
		Findings from the investigations carried out by scientific instruments on both the lander and the rover suggest that Mars was at one time in its past warm and wet, with water existing in its liquid state and a thicker atmosphere.
