Example Rover (Can you identify the parts?) Photos should be a square like this. #6091b #f8a81b #8d64aa Image source: Courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech, http://marsrover.nasa.gov/gallery/artwork/hires/rover3.jpg
Rover Main Parts and Functions body: protects the rover s "organs" brains: computers that process the rover's information wheels: attached to the legs and allows rover movement arm: a robotic arm used for extension and movement to use tools and instruments energy source: solar panels and batteries cameras: cameras mounted on the head, front or back of the rover to see and take pictures communications: antennae for communication with NASA and Earth temperature controls: heaters and insulation to protect the rover instruments and tools, such as: abrasion tool: scrapes rock to bring back samples spectrometer: identifies any minerals that contain iron x-ray spectrometer: takes x-rays of rocks and soil so NASA can identify elements in the rocks microscopic imager: shows very small details of rocks and soil Photos should be a square like this.
