Explore the red planet with the Metal Earth 3D Model Mars Rover steel replica model.

Two Mars searching robots called Spirit and Opportunity landed on Mars on January 3 and January 24, 2004. They were built to be like mechanical geologists and found out that long ago Mars was wetter and that conditions at Mars could have sustained microbial life if any existed!

Opportunity worked for nearly 15 years on Mars and broke the driving record for putting the most miles on the odometer.

With data from the rovers, mission scientists have reconstructed an ancient past when Mars was covered in water. Both of the rovers found evidence for past wet conditions that possibly could have supported microbial life.

This rover model kit is perfect for a space-themed collection and an ideal gift for a planet lover or tinkerer. Assemble the ultra-thin metal pieces using the slot and tab design, no glue is required!

You may need some tweezers to assist with intricate parts, and some patience as you take on the detailed task with accuracy!
