The Mars Rover is important because they wanted to see if there's life on Mars. Also they wanted examples of the rocks and sand to see if people can live in Mars.
It was put up there to show people what the surface of Mars looks like, and to find mineral deposits that show if there is or has been any water on Mars.
it was to explore mars and it had the mars rover on board with it.
The Soviet Union's "Mars 2" had a "Prop-M"rover on board the lander but the mission failed when the lander impacted into the Martian surface .
It provided a great deal of evidence that water existed on Mars in the past.
The rover was built by the NASA Telerobotics Program. The mission was controlled by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
About 250 days, but I haven't checked the exact number. (I guess you mean the Mars Exploration Rover mission.)

The most recent completed Mars rover mission was the Exploration rover. It lasted until May of 2011 and was there for over 6 years and 2 months.
The rover was built by the NASA Telerobotics Program. The mission was controlled by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

There were three missions that successfully landed rovers on Mars. The rovers are:Sojourner - landed July 4, 1997 on mission Mars Pathfinder (functioned 3 months)Opportunity - landed January 4, 2004 on mission Mars Exploration Rover-A (functioned 6 years)Spirit - landed January 25, 2004 on mission Mars Exploration Rover-B (still functioning)NASA is also launching a new rover, Curiosity, sometime between November and December, 2011. It is scheduled to land on Mars on August, 2012.
there is only one mars rover and NASA invented the mars rover.
The next Mars mission is the 'Mars Science Laboratory' (MSL) , the rover is known as Curiosity with a tentative launch date of November 2011 and landing date of August 2012 . ~ See related link below .
