1 a small vehicle that can move over rough ground, often used on the surface of other planets, sometimes controlled from the earth: --
The rovers have traveled distances that make a few seconds difference to local solar time.
The trailers can then be underslung underneath a helicopter or can be towed by long wheelbase land rovers or other vehicles once on the ground.
At increasing levels of sophistication the device may operate somewhat independently in matters such as obstacle avoidance, also commonly employed in planetary rovers.
In this manner, approximately 20 m2 of surface can be examined per kilometer of rover travel.
The rover will traverse an average of 125 m/sol with an effective traverse speed of 20 m hx1 over 6.25 h/sol.
Each of the four known rovers has a unique rule controlling its position among the suffixes in the verb.
The instrument is mounted on the rover's robotic arm.
Others were rovers by choice, or else they were on the run from police (bushrangers).
