KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- A flatbed truck carrying elements of the Mars Exploration Rovers Mission nears the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at KSC. The cruise stage, aeroshell and lander for MER-2 are inside the shipping containers. Set to launch in 2003, the Mars Exploration Rover Mission will consist of two identical rovers designed to cover roughly 110 yards (100 meters) each Martian day. Each rover will carry five scientific instruments that will allow it to search for evidence of liquid water that may have been present in the planet's past. The rovers will be identical to each other, but will land at different regions of Mars. The first rover has a launch window opening May 30, 2003, and the second rover a window opening June 25, 2003.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- - At NASA's Family & Community Mars Exploration Day, held in Cape Canaveral, Fla., Kristie Durham (left), Martha Vreeland (center), and Jeanne Hawkins (right), with Expendable Launch Vehicle Services, offer information about the facility. The event informed students and the general public about Florida's key role as NASA's "Gateway to Mars" and offered an opportunity to meet with scientists, engineers, educators and others working Mars exploration missions. The Mars Exploration Rovers are being prepared for launch this spring aboard Boeing Delta II rockets from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. They will land on Mars and start exploring in January 2004. KSC-03pd0517

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - The aeroshell for the Mars Exploration Rover-1 mission is offloaded at KSC's Multi-Payload Processing Facility. While at KSC, the rovers, aeroshells and landers will undergo a full mission simulation. All of these flight elements will then be integrated together. After spin balance testing, each spacecraft will be mated to a solid propellant upper stage booster that will propel the spacecraft out of Earth orbit. Approximately 10 days before launch they will be transported to the launch pad for mating with their respective Boeing Delta II rockets. The rovers will serve as robotic geologists to seek answers about the evolution of Mars, particularly for a history of water. The rovers will be identical to each other, but will land at different regions of Mars. Launch of the MER-1 is scheduled for May 30. MER-2 will follow June 25. KSC-03pd0538

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. - In the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility, workers check alignment of the Rover Equipment Deck (RED) on one of the Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) with the Warm Electronics Box (WEB). Processing of the rovers, plus cruise stage, lander and heat shield elements, is ongoing. Set to launch in 2003, the MER Mission will consist of two identical rovers designed to cover roughly 110 yards each Martian day. Each rover will carry five scientific instruments that will allow it to search for evidence of liquid water that may have been present in the planet's past. The rovers will be identical to each other, but will land at different regions of Mars. The first rover has a launch window opening May 30, and the second rover a window opening June 25, 2003.
