1. Why do you think engineers want to develop a bug-like flyer? How might miniature unmanned aerial vehicles (MAVs) be helpful to people? *

2. What have engineers learned by studying the flight of real insects that is helping them design a MAV? *

3. What differences can you observe between the wings of birds and flying insects? How do you think wing shape might affect flight? (Insects can hover stationary better than most birds.) *

2. How does the rover get its instructions or commands? How does it share the images, data, and other information it gets with us on Earth? *

3. These rovers move slowly! Why do you think they move at this speed? *

1. Choose two parts of the rover. For each one, describe the job it was designed to do, the challenges for carrying out this job on Mars, and what you think is most interesting about this part of the rover. *
