Opportunity and Spirit are two rovers that have been to the incredible Red Planet – Mars.
Opportunity launched out of Florida in 2003 and landed on Mars in 2004, which was soon after its twin Spirit landed. Opportunity is one of the more well known rovers, in that it broke a record of operating for about 15 years, while making key discoveries in our astronomical history. Some of these discoveries including finding evidence that Mars was once able to sustain life. Opportunity also drove the steepest slope by any rover on Mars.
There were many different parts of opportunity such as a pan-cam (panoramic camera), nav-cam (navigation camera), a Mini-TES (miniature thermal emission spectrometer), and other scientific instruments that were key aids in opportunity’s discoveries. Unfortunately, due to a strong dust storm on Mars in 2018, Opportunity was cut from Earth.
Spirit also launched out of Florida in 2003, and landed on Mars in 2004, a little before its twin rover Opportunity, described above. Spirit contained, if not all the same then similar, scientific instruments. Spirit operated for 6 years, and some of its discoveries include discovering that there was once water on mars. Its goal was to study the history/climate of sites on Mars that might have previously had life. Spirit ended its mission in March of 2010.
