there are 2 rovers they are called Phoenix and spirit
********************************************
Uh-Oh! Phoenix and Spirit are the names of two rovers on MARS, not our moon!
Spirit began operations in 2004, but became stuck in soft soil in 2010 and after many attempts to extricate itself and dwindling power from its solar cells finally left it unresponsive, communications were terminated in 2011. The Mars rover "Opportunity", Spirit's twin, is still active as of early 2012.
The Phoenix rover began operations in 2008, but failed to communicate after the Mars winter of 2009 - 2010 and was declared "dead" in May 2010. Photographs from the Mars orbiter "Odyssey" showed considerable damage to the rover, probably partially crushed by heavy snow and ice accumulation during the winter. The rover was not designed to survive the expected harsh winter conditions on Mars.
Another Mars rover named "Sojourner" began operations in 1997, and returned data for three months, well beyond its design lifetime. Sojourner is still on Mars.
However, the three American Lunar Roving Vehicles which each carried two astronauts on extra-vehicular explorations during Project Apollo Missions 15, 16 and 17 during 1971 through 1972 are still on the moon.
The unmanned Russian lunar rovers "Lunokhod 1 & 2" landed on the moon in 1970 and 1973 respectively, and both are still up there.
What else can I help you with?
How many rovers are there in the world?
As of 2021, there are several active Mars rovers, such as Perseverance and Curiosity. In addition to Mars rovers, there are other robotic rovers deployed on celestial bodies like the Moon and other planets. The exact number of rovers in operation worldwide varies as missions launch and conclude.
How does the moon's gravity affect lunar rovers?
The vehicles used on the Moon were designed with the Moon's gravity in mind. They would not function correctly on Earth. So the answer is that the Moon's gravity affects the lunar rovers in the same way as gravity affects cars and other vehicles on Earth.... it is what keeps them on the surface, and prevents from from floating off into space.
What type of space probe is designed to move around on the surface of a moon or planet?
A rover is a type of space probe designed to move around on the surface of a moon or planet. Rovers are equipped with wheels or tracks for mobility and are controlled remotely from Earth or by onboard computers. Examples of rovers include NASA's Mars rovers like Curiosity and Perseverance.
How many teams end in rovers?
There are several teams in various sports that have "Rovers" in their name, but one popular example is Blackburn Rovers in English football (soccer).
What does a rover do in space?
Rovers are what scientists call any vehicle which travels on the surface of a moon or planet that isn't Earth. So far Rovers have landed on the Moon, and Mars. Some rovers like the Moon Buggy were just cars that were driven by astronauts so that they could travel a long way from their space ships. Other rovers such as Spirit, Discovery and every other rover which has landed on Mars are very complicated remote controlled cars with cameras, robot arms, and many other sensors. Scientists control these remote controlled rovers from Earth and use them to study the surface of Mars. Remote controlled rovers are used instead of astronauts because they don't need food, water, or air, and its alright to leave them on Mars because they don't get homesick like people
How many lunar buggies are on the moon?
There are currently no lunar buggies (rovers) on the moon. The Apollo Lunar Rovers from the 1970s were used for exploration and have not been operational since. In recent years, various countries and organizations have been working on developing new rovers for future missions to the moon.
How many lunar rovers are on the moon?
Three, one each from Apollos 15, 16, and 17

How many rovers are on the moon right now?
All the lunar rovers left by the Apollo astronauts are still on the lunar surface as there was no way to bring them back. There are three, but no currently operational roving vehicles.
How many rovers have been on the moon?
Three. Apollo 15, 16 and 17 each had Lunar Roving Vehicles (LRVs)
Are there space rovers on the moon?
Yes... Are you really that thick...
Has Great Britain launched any space rockets?
Of course it has! I am British and it has many of them also rovers on mars and the moon.... and more.
How did they get the moon lunar rover to the moon before the men landed?
The lunar rovers used on the moon were included in the lunar module, which carried them to the moon's surface. Once on the moon, the astronauts deployed the rovers to aid in their exploration of the lunar surface.
Is the lunar rover still on the moon?
There are five lunar rovers still on the moon: the two unmanned Lunakhod rovers sent to the moon in 1970 and 1973, and the three manned Apollo lunar rovers sent during the last three missions of the American Apollo program (15, 16, and 17) during 1971 and 1972.Q: Why couldn't the astronauts park their spaceship on the moon?A: Because it was full.
Was it just NASA landings on the moon?
NASA is the only agency to have landed humans on the moon. Russia, however, has landed probes and rovers on the moon's surface.

What technology has been used to learn about the moon?
Telescopes, satellites, space ships, and rovers!
