It was powered by solar panels and used six wheels to navigate the rocky Martian terrain. Sojourner helped scientists understand the composition of Martian rocks using a special tool called the Alpha Proton X-ray Spectrometer. It also took many photographs and helped demonstrate how robotic vehicles could be used on distant planets.

This rover is important because it proved that small, mobile robots could explore other planets and send back useful data.

Spirit was powered by solar panels and carried tools such as a rock grinder, spectrometers, and cameras. It found strong evidence that water once existed on Mars by analyzing rocks that had been changed by water. The rover climbed hills, explored craters, and survived dust storms.

It’s important because it helped scientists learn more about Mars' past climate and its ability to support life.

It was powered by solar panels and carried cameras, spectrometers, and tools for examining rocks. One of its biggest discoveries was finding signs that liquid water had once flowed on the Martian surface.

This rover is important because it found strong clues that Mars could have supported life in the past.

It is powered by a nuclear battery, which allows it to explore for many years without relying on solar power. Curiosity has many special features, including a drill for collecting rock samples, a laser that can zap rocks to learn what they are made of, and a weather station.

This rover is important because it found organic molecules and other signs that Mars may once have had the right conditions for life.

Zhurong is a medium-sized rover weighing about 240 kg. It was powered by solar panels, which helped it run its instruments and drive around. It featured ground-penetrating radar to look beneath the Martian surface, climate sensors to study the weather, and several high-resolution cameras to capture detailed images. These special tools allowed Zhurong to study Martian soil, take temperature readings, and search for signs of ancient water beneath the ground.

Its mission is important because it helps scientists learn more about Mars' past environment and whether life could have existed there.

It is powered by a nuclear battery and carries a drill to collect rock samples, microphones to record Martian sounds, and a weather station. One of its most exciting tools is the Ingenuity helicopter, the first aircraft to fly on another planet.

Perseverance is important because it will help scientists understand if life ever existed on Mars and prepare for future human missions.

The rover featured cameras, thermal imaging, and tools to study lunar dust. Rashid was important because it represented the UAE’s first step in lunar exploration and showed the country's growing interest in space science. Despite the crash, the mission helped build experience for future attempts.

It had solar panels for power and instruments to analyse rocks and soil, including a laser-induced spectroscope. Pragyan made important discoveries, including detecting elements like sulphur and confirming the presence of oxygen and aluminium.

The mission was a great success for India and showed that it could perform complex space missions.

The rover is expected to include upgraded cameras, scientific instruments, and better landing technology. It will help the UAE continue its space exploration journey and gather valuable data about the lunar environment.

This rover will carry a drill that can go up to 2 metres into the Martian ground, a first for any Mars rover. It will be powered by solar panels and equipped with cameras, a laboratory for testing soil samples, and special sensors to look for organic molecules.

Its mission is important because it could find signs of past life hidden underground, protected from harsh surface conditions.
