Interactive Mars Landing Sites.

Mars Rovers Landing is a short online game, to send 8 rovers to designated locations on Mars. Astronomy learning exercise to study the locations of robotic rovers that have rolled over the planet Mars. Fun educational game, suitable for online lessons, interactive classes and exciting homework.

You have 8 boxed Mars rovers under your control. Send them to designated locations on Mars surface and explore interesting data about their missions.

These landers have provided invaluable data about Mars' surface, atmosphere, geology, and potential for past or present life:
