NASA's Robot Explorers Notes Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4 Exploring Mars  Two noteworthy robot explorers are Spirit and Opportunity sent to Mars in 2003  Each robot was only expected to last 90 Martian days, but each one explored far longer than that Spirit Rover On Mars Opportunity Rover On Mars 2004-Present Science

 The Curiosity rover was sent to Mars in 2011  Larger and more robust than the previous rovers, this robot explorer has drills and a laser device to study rocks and search for life. NASA's Robot Explorers Notes Space Exploration and SPI 0807.T/E 1 to 4 Exploring Mars Curioustiy Rover On Mars 2012-Present Science
