ummm what i consider to be a probe, is the thing an alien sticks up ur butt when u get abducted (watch the preview for the movie Paul). the mars rover is an extremely expensive piece of space junk that was sent to mars with the hopes that it would show what mars looks like up close w/o having to send people there.

Is the Mars rover and the Mars pathfinder rover the same thing?

No, the Mars rover and the Mars Pathfinder rover are not the same thing. The Mars Pathfinder rover, named Sojourner, landed on Mars in 1997 and was the first rover to explore the Martian surface. The Mars rover refers to a series of rovers sent to Mars by NASA, including the Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, and Perseverance rovers.


Are the Mars lunar rover the same as the Mars exploration rover?

No they are different rovers.


Is a Range Rover and a Lamborghini the same thing?

NO. A Range Rover is a luxury SUV, while a Lamborghini is a luxury sports car.


How are the Mars Rovers controlled?

A probe buit to land on Mars is built with considerable "artificial intelligence" in its onboard software, so that it doesn't need control from earth for every move ... it's capable of some autonomy, i.e. making some of its own decisions as it goes about its business. In order to control it when necessary ... and also to get ahold of the probe's reports, data, pictures etc. ... comunication is by radio. The peculiar thing about it is that the radio signals take more than a minute to travel between the controller on earth and the probe on Mars; so if the timing of a command is critical, the command has to be sent more than a minute before the probe needs it, and for the same reason, the result can't be known until almost three minutes later.


What rhymes with stars and means the same thing?

Someone answered Mars. Mars is NOT a star, it is a planet.


How long did the mars rover last?

The Sojourner rover lasted 85 days from July 4 to September 27, 1997. The Spirit rover lasted 6 years and 78 days from January 4, 2004 until March 22, 2010. The Opportunity rover landed on Mars on January 25, 2004 and, as of December 14, 2015 is still active (11 years, 324 days and counting). The Curiosity rover landed on Mars on August 6, 2012 and, as of December 14, 2015 is still active (3 years, 97 days and counting).


How would the size of parachute required for a space probe be different on Mars which has a thin atmosphere or on Mars which has a thin atmosphere?

The atmosphere of Venus is very thick, and a parachute would have much greater drag for a given size, than on Earth or Mars. So it could be smaller to achieve the same slowing of a space probe's descent. On Mars, a larger parachute would be required, but fortunately Mars, being a smaller planet, has much less gravity than Earth, so the parachute does not have to resist the same acceleration force (which is roughly the same on Venus as on Earth).


In a 1994 probe why would the overdrive light flash?

you might wanna have your tranny checked my dads probe did the same thing right b4 the tranny went out of it

Where can you find the egr valve on a rover 620 sldi?

Did you ever find out where it is? As I am looking for the same thing... :)


Are space probes the same thing as satilight?

No they aren't the same. A satellite is on a defined orbit and a probe is something sent to discover planets or other space objects.


What space craft took pictures of mars?

It uses the very same CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) sensor that you might find in your pocket digital camera. The images are then transmitted from the rover to an orbiting satellite, which relays them back to Earth.
