Who is behind the Martian Rovers?

Who is behind the Martian Rovers?

Who is behind the Martian Rovers?

There was an article in the Sunday paper about how incredibly well they are performing.   Made me curious about who deserves credit, both organizations and individual people.  

Thanks,

Sorry,

Knew about JPL.  Lookign for individuals, components and component suppliers that have made it such a success.  

What happened and who made it happened.

Hoping somebody here would have been involved.

RE: Who is behind the Martian Rovers?

The link I provided certainly will help with individuals and some suppliers.  I think it is very likely you could contact a few of the individuals and learn a great deal about the components and suppliers.

Regards,

Cory
