Mars Exploration Rover Cruise Stage with Solar Panels in Testing Phase

This image shows the solar panels on the cruise stage of a Mars Exploration Rover during testing at the Kennedy Space Center. It highlights the engineering and technology involved in preparing the rovers for their mission to Mars. Once testing and mission simulations are complete, the spacecraft elements will be integrated for flight. Two identical rovers are scheduled for separate launch windows, tasked with searching for evidence of past liquid water on Mars. This image can be used for educational purposes, space exploration promos, technology showcases, and documentaries.
