Welcome to the Red Planet: Exploring Mars with NASA’s Rovers
For decades, NASA has been exploring the mysteries of Mars, sending robotic rovers across its rocky terrain in search of answers to some of humanity’s biggest questions:
Is there life beyond Earth? What can Mars teach us about our own planet?
From the groundbreaking Pathfinder mission in 1997 to the cutting-edge Perseverance rover currently traversing Jezero Crater, these robotic explorers have revolutionized our understanding of the Red Planet. Each mission has built upon the last—testing new technologies, uncovering signs of ancient water, and paving the way for future human exploration.
This site is your launchpad into the world of NASA’s Mars rovers. Learn about the design and goals of each mission, discover the incredible science they’ve uncovered, and find out how these trailblazing robots are helping write the next chapter in space exploration.
