<p>look and listen i am not smoking something heavy you must be braindead for writing that.. all that i am trying to say is that way way back befoure both rovers sprit and oppytunity they were two mars landers viking lander one and viking lander 2&nbsp;but just after both landers started to fail it was&nbsp; viking lander one so had failing batteries! so ok fair enough it had to be shut of. but with viking lander 2&nbsp;it had&nbsp;lost contact with earth because somebody at nasa? was trying to upload battery saving data but instead ended up interfering with the communication data wiping everything off!...</p><p>i looked it up on one of nasa's websites thats why i said little sod!! </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

So anyway, what have these rovers learned about Mars???

<p><BR/>Replying to:<BR/><DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>So anyway, what have these rovers learned about Mars??? <br />Posted by job1207</DIV><br /><br />The Mars Exploration Rover/JPL/NASA website http://marsrovers.nasa.gov/science/&nbsp;links to a nice bibliographyhttp://marsrovers.nasa.gov/science/pdf/web_publist.pdf&nbsp; listing articles in science journals that discusses what has been learned from these instruments. It is largely geochemistry of the rocks, minerals, and soil and observations of the geomorphology, which allows hypotheses of the physical mechanisms causing such results. Along with a huge amount of magnificent photography this is a significant set of results. Add to it the accomplishment in mechanical, computer, and telerobotics that allowed two rovers of such complexity to survive launch, entry, landing, deployment and long duty on the surface. The controllers have overcome glitches that threatened the survival of both rovers - due to their skill, training and perseverance. We have learned an immense amount as a result of MER.</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://www.flickr.com/photos/kurtwagner</p><p> </p> </div>
