The Spirit and Opportunity Rovers

Written by Amanda BessetteJuly 18, 2014
Inspired By video - Amanda Bessette

I was inspired by the Hubble Space Telescope. I was required to do a mini research project on the telescope. I was so inspired by NASA and space, that I knew that I wanted to make a positive impact.

When I learned about the Mars Exploration Rover mission, I was hooked. I had always had a passion for robots, and now my two inspirations were combined.

Now I am working on Mars 2020 and living my dream.
