KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Workers in the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility secure the Mars Exploration Rover 2 (MER-2) to the base petal of the lander before the flight stow of the solar panels. Set to launch in Spring 2003, the MER Mission will consist of two identical rovers designed to cover roughly 110 yards each Martian day over various terrain. The rovers will be identical to each other, but will land at different regions of Mars. Each rover will carry five scientific instruments that will allow it to search for evidence of liquid water that may have been present in the planet's past. The first rover has a launch window opening May 30, and the second rover a window opening June 25.
