If possible, future rover missions will target extinct hydrothermal vent systems on Mars.
Even more than the bitter cold, the diminished sunlight is a matter of pressing concern for scientists and engineers managing the rover missions.
The Luna 17 and Luna 21 were successful unmanned rover missions.
These rover missions were in operation concurrently with the Zond and Luna series of Moon flyby, orbiter and landing missions.
Scientists working on the rover mission concluded that the blueberries were objects known as concretions.
An as-yet unnamed planetary rover mission by NASA is under study with a possible launch in 2020.
The new rover mission and launch is estimated to cost roughly US$1.5 billion, plus or minus $200 million, according to The Aerospace Corporation.
China will attempt its first unmanned Moon landing, with the Chang'e 3 lunar rover mission.
It only recommended the rover mission if it could be done cheaply enough (2.5 billion USD).
These discoveries and inferences make a compelling case for a rover mission designed to explore for evidence of past Martian life.
