Mars Rover the First Marathon Runner

Just a little over two weeks are remaining before landing on the Mars by most sophisticated human exploration vehicle for research on to a foreign planet, Curiosity who in the room wearing a laboratory for the search for life Mars Science Lab.



But you need to know how on the surface of Mars is still moving the rover Opportunity, which has survived another dangerous Mars winter and continued to ride on the red planet. Someone at NASA has recently calculated that rover Opportunity has been driven approximately 35.40 miles and it lacks very little that exceeds 42.195 kilometers, which is the official length of a marathon race.

Therefore in NASA have decided to declare him the first alien marathoners and that an event could coincide with the awarding of medals for the marathon race at this year's race at the Olympic Games in London.
While someone might seem that the rovers Opportunity distance traversed is small, considering moving on Mars since 2004. year, NASA scientists point out that according to the plan and its twin rover Spirit (which is a few years ago ceased to function), they should shift less than a kilometer.

"This rover should exceed 283 million miles until marathon runs, but then without any pomp began running Mars surface therefore deserves some kind of ceremony like alien first marathon," said Ray Arvidson, deputy head of mission to Mars rovers at NASA.
The main task of the rover was the search for evidence of water on Mars, as he pointed out some clues, but an even greater contribution to space exploration that he has provided spectacular images of Mars surface which he continue to tirelessly sends to us.
