An Exploration Rover is a scientific tool
armed with instruments such as cameras, spectrometers, and other
sensors that allow scientists on Earth to measure and study a remote
location.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s
(NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has an impressive history
of building roving vehicles used for remote planetary exploration.
The word "Rover" means to rove, ramble, to
wander without settled destination.
