Mars Exploration Rover 2
Engineers for NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Mission
are completing assembly and testing for the twin robotic
geologists at JPL. This week the twin rovers are sharing
floor space in JPL's Spacecraft Assembly Facility for the last
time before they are shipped to the Kennedy Space
Center in Florida.
In the image above, engineers are installing the rover's
solar panels. The rovers will be launched separately in
May and June.
