Artwork of Mars Surveyor 2001 Lander on Mars
Mars Surveyor 2001 Lander. Artwork of the Mars Surveyor 2001 Lander on the Martian surface. This probe is due for launch in April 2001. The small rover at lower right may also travel with the Lander, collecting rock samples. The Lander is designed primarily to check the potential health risks to any human explorers on Mars caused by exposure to the minerals on the surface. These include radiation, and fouling of systems by wind- borne dust particles. A robotic arm (centre) can collect soil samples, which will be tested to find their compatibility with human-made materials. The craft is powered by its large solar panels (blue)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the Mars Surveyor 2001 Lander, a groundbreaking probe set to launch in April 2001. The image depicts the lander on the mysterious Martian surface, with a small rover positioned at its lower right. This rover is equipped to collect rock samples during its exploration mission alongside the lander. The primary objective of this pioneering spacecraft is to assess potential health risks for future human explorers on Mars. It aims to examine how exposure to minerals found on the planet's surface, such as radiation and wind-borne dust particles, could impact human well-being and system functionality. A remarkable robotic arm located at the center of the craft plays a crucial role in collecting soil samples for compatibility testing with human-made materials. Powering this advanced technology are large solar panels that gleam in an eye-catching blue hue against the backdrop of Mars' reddish landscape. The intricate details captured by Science Photo Library's artistry bring forth an awe-inspiring vision of what lies ahead for Martian exploration. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, we can't help but imagine humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our unwavering determination to conquer new frontiers. This artwork serves as a testament to our boundless curiosity about distant worlds and our quest for understanding their secrets.
