Spirit has Landed!
We can enjoy the success of the rover named Spirit landing on real Mars by running our own simulations.
We connected to http://lego.marshall.edu and http://SENSORSCITY.marshall.edu
at the same time. RED ROVER RED ROVER teleoperates the rover, sky tram, gate, and car.
SENSORSCITY programs run the monorail, car counter and tree (snow a little snowman).
The data is from the car count, rotating tree, and the monorail.
Davis Creek Red Rover is on Mars. It is in the box right above the computers.
We checked out http://planetary.org for Red Rover Goes to Mars.
We visited other Red Rover sites with Red Rover and on the web.
The real Mars rovers use solar panels. We tried out a LEGO one.
We watched the internet movie about the Mars rover launch and landing.
