Mars Landers
What are we learning?
We are learning about the history of the Mars Rover program and how scientists had to work together to solve problems and make sure the rover landed safely on the Red Planet. We are learning how to work with our peers to solve a similar problem.
Why are we learning this?
The field of space science and exploration is continuing to grow with new projects currently in development. Understanding what missions have already been done, helps us understand what might happen next. Working together with others is a skill we will need no matter what job we eventually have.
