Who invented the first planetary rover?
Soviet Union sent first rover to Moon in 1970, and first rover to Mars in 1971.Lunokhod(Soviet Union) is supposed to be the first rover, first rover NASA used was in 1996.
What is the Mars Rover used for?
Exploring the surface of Mars. Maybe trying to find traces of water.
How much fuel does the mars rover use?
The most recent one has a nuclear power source. Will last a long time previous ones used solar power with rechargeable batteries. LCKMA
The robotic rover opportunity was used to explore the surface of which planet?
Mars. See the related link for more information.
How long did it take for the rover to get to mars?
Most spacecraft travel to Mars by an eliptical transfer orbit called a Hohmann Transfer. This normally takes 8 months one-way, and can only be done once every 2 years from Earth. This is not the quickest way to Mars, but it is by far the cheapest, so this is the one used most often. If you had lots of money and energy, then quicker journeys are certainly possible. In the future ion propulsion engines (already in use on some satellites, e.g. GOCE) could be used to theoretically drop journey times to 40 days.
What do you use the Mars rover for?
well i think the mars rover is used for the future of science OR just researching mars' environment.:>
What is one of the missions of the Mars rovers?
the mars rover was used to study mars dumbo
What operating systems are used for rover technology?
The Mars Exploration Rovers (Spirit and Opportunity) and the Mars Science Laboratory rover (Curiosity) use the VxWorks operating system.

What is a rover?
A Rover is a type of vehicle such as a car or a van used for transportation and to drive where you want to go. A rover can also be an unmanned vehicle used for exploring the planet Mars. A rover can also be a person who can go from place to place in performing his or her duties, rather than being assigned to a specific place.
What are aerogels used for?
The most common use for Aerogel is for thermal insulation. Silica Aerogel has been used to help insulate the Mars Rover and protected all the wiring from the extreme temperatures it faces in outer space.

What was used to land the pathfinder on Mars?
a Triangular balloon it bounced till gravity brought it down and deployed the rover

How do you use a mars rover from earth?
If you've ever used something wireless, like a monster truck, you can imagine how. It has a strong radio signal, (VERY STRONG) and when you press a button here, it happens on Mars with the rover. Of course, you need clearance to use the rover, but I hope you don't intent to break in and use it anytime soon.
What was one of the reasons they used the mars rover?
All previous Mars probes could only see the part of Mars directly around them. The Rovers, by moving around, were able to see and investigate much, much more. Do not confuse the Mars rover robots with the Apollo Lunar Rovers which were basically a dune buggy for the astronauts to drive around the Moon. This let them also see and investigate much much more. One lunar rover went over 17 miles!
How did NASA use a Land Rover freelander?
NASA used a Land Rover Freelander to explore the uninhabitable surface of Mars. It was controlled using satellite to explore a world in which humans couldn't survive in. This way, they were able to gather information about Mars without putting any humans in danger.
