NASA EXPLORE MARS. First, you will choose a rock to investigate. Then, you’ll send a sequence of commands telling the rover how to get to that rock. Don’t forget to include the command to analyze the rock! This information will then be sent back to scientists on Earth.

HIGHEST SCORE: Year 5 --> 1700 research points
                                 Year 6 --> 2000 research points
