Climbing Toward Mars

Climbing Toward Mars
Climbing Toward Mars The Mars Rover reaches the boulder-strewn summit of Mars Hill-in Death Valley, California. The 1992 Planetary Society test program brought together Russian, American, French and Hungarian engineers and scientists who matched the little robot explorer against some of the most Mars-like terrain on Earth. The program marked the first time a private space organization involved the public in the actual tests of a craft designed to explore another world. Charlene M. Anderson
