      So far NASA have sent four rovers to Mars. They are called Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity and Curiosity. The first one was sent back in 1997!

      Right now a fifth NASA rover is on its way to Mars. It is called Perseverance and it should arrive at Mars in February 2021.

      ESA (European Space Agency) are also sending a rover called the Rosalind Franklin rover. This one should hopefully arrive in the summer of 2023!
