its been designed in that way so as to withstand air friction and atmospheric disturbances
Rovers on celestial bodies like Mars are subject to gravity, which keeps them grounded. Without gravity, they would indeed float in space. However, the gravitational pull of these bodies keeps the rovers anchored to the surface and prevents them from floating away.
There are two Mars rovers, named Spirit and Opportunity. There's obviously "Curiosity" now too. In fact Spirit doesn't work anymore, so there are still two Mars rovers working.
The names of the two rovers exploring Mars are Spirit and Opportunity.
There have been plenty of mars rovers. The names of the two rovers currently (2008) deployed by NASA are "Spirit" (at the Gusev crater) and "Opportunity" (at Merridiani).You can find more information about this mission at by visiting the link below.Spirit and Opportunity
The Mars Pathfinder mission included a lander named Sojourner and a rover named Sojourner as well. The rover explored the surface of Mars and conducted scientific experiments. It was the first rover to be successfully deployed on Mars.
Yes, gravity does act on the Mars Rovers. On Mars, the gravity on the surface is 39% as strong as it is on Earth. This is also about the same amount on Mercury. A man weighing 200 pounds on Earth (or 440 kg) would weigh 78 pounds on Mars (171.6 kg). The six wheels the rovers have push the rovers around, they just don't have to work as hard to overcome the weak Martian gravity.

No one has sent 15 rovers to Mars
Mars rovers were made sometime in the 1970's
All of their Mars Rovers have wheels.
the two rovers are:- Spirit and Opportunity.

They are taken there, by spacecraft.
No. But rovers have.

yes, the mars rover
As of November 2016 there are two operational Mars rovers: Opportunity and Curiosity.
