3. Introduction People are so much interested in space exploration, which is sometimes full of danger, therefore for Safety purposes the space exploration missions require robotic systems called WHEEL MOBILE ROBOT (WMR) or “ROVER” .

19. The Panoramic Camera (Pancam) Pancam is a high-resolution color stereo pair of CCD cameras that will be used to image the surface and sky of Mars. The cameras are located on a "camera bar" that sits on top of the mast of the rover. *Charged coupled Device

20. Miniature Thermal Emission Spectrometer (Mini-TES) Mini-TES is an infrared spectrometer that can determine the mineralogy of rocks and soils from a distance by detecting their patterns of thermal radiation. All warm objects emit heat, but different objects emit heat differently. This variation in thermal radiation can help scientists identify the minerals on Mars.

21. Rock Abrasion Tool (RAT) The Rock Abrasion Tool is a powerful grinder, able to create a hole 45 millimeters (about 2 inches) in diameter and 5 millimeters (0.2 inches) deep into a rock on the Martian surface. It is located on the Rover arm.

22. The Microscopic Imager The Microscopic Imager is a combination of a microscope and a camera that will provide information on the small-scale features of Martian rocks and soils. It will complement the findings of other science instruments by producing close-up views of surface materials.

23. Mössbauer Spectrometer (MB ) Many of the minerals that formed rocks on Mars contain iron, and the soil is iron-rich. The Mössbauer Spectrometer is an instrument that was specially designed to study iron-bearing minerals.

24. Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer (APXS) The APXS is designed to study the alpha particles and x-rays emitted by rocks and soils in order to determine their elemental chemistry. Alpha particles are emitted during radioactive decay and X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, like light and microwaves.
