What was the mars rover made of?
Mostly aluminum but it has many components like solar panels.
Why did the mars rover go offline?
NASA's rover Spirit went offline likely because its solar panels were too thoroughly covered in Martian dust to provide it with power. Since the solar panels were its only source of power, it shut down and became unresponsive.
Will solar panels work on mars?
Yes, solar panels will work anywhere there is sunight.
How is the Mars Rover powered?
The Mars rovers have solar panels that are charged by the Sun.
Is the Mars rover still on Mars?
Sojourner, which was the robotic Mars rover, landed on Mars in July of 1997. Sojourner explored Mars for approximately three months. This rover was equipped with cameras and solar panels.
What prolongs the life of a Mars rover?

What is the Mars Rover used for?
Exploring the surface of Mars. Maybe trying to find traces of water.
Why would solar panels generate less electrical energy on mars than earth?
Mars is always further away from the sun than the earth is. Therefore, the light that reaches the surface on mars is much weaker than on earth, so solar panels are not quite as effective.
How does the Mars rover move around Mars?
On wheels, driven by electrical motors. It moves very slowly, transmitting pictures and data to an orbiting relay station and then to Earth; controllers on Earth review the data, and transmit new commands to the Mars rovers. Think of it as the solar system's slowest radio-controlled toy car.
Is solar panels a solar-powered calculator?
no but solar panels are in solar calculators
Who invented the Mars rover?
there is only one mars rover and NASA invented the mars rover.
What country built the Mars rover?
