Frequently asked questions
How does the NASA Mars Rover kit work?
The NASA Mars Rover is a 71-piece build-it-yourself model with a working DC motor, movable robotic arm, and a drive system capable of climbing uneven surfaces. Kids assemble it from scratch using the included instructions, then operate it with the included controls.

No. The NASA Mars Rover requires 3 AAA batteries, which are not included in the kit.
What's in the 60-page booklet included with the NASA Mars Rover?
The booklet covers the real NASA Perseverance mission, including how the rover's arm and mobility systems work, what it was searching for on Mars, and the science behind the mission design.
Can the NASA Mars Rover handle rough terrain?
Yes. The NASA Mars Rover's DC motor provides enough torque to drive uphill and cross uneven surfaces, mimicking the kind of terrain operations the real Perseverance rover was built for.
What age is the NASA Mars Rover kit designed for?
