The Mars Rover was not discovered it was invented.
Sojourner landed in July 1997 and communications were lost in September of that year. Spirit landed in January 2004, and is still functioning but it is stuck in sand. But data is still collected from it. Opportunity also landed in January 2004 and it still functional.

NASA's twin robot geologists, the Mars Exploration Rovers, launched toward Mars on June 10 and July 7, 2003, to find answers to the questions about water on Mars. They landed on Mars January 3 and January 24 PST, 2004.
