Developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University with support from NASA and Intel Corp., the Personal Exploration Rovers (PERs) will reside in "Mars yards," specially designed to mimic martian terrain at the new visitor center at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif. The new rovers also will be deployed in Mars yards at the San Francisco Exploratorium; the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum in Washington and its new Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles International Airport; and the National Science Center in Augusta, Ga. The first exhibit will open at NASA Ames in late December. The others will follow between January first and Jan. 24, 2004. Images Courtesy of Carnegie Mellon University
