Professor Dr. Franz Renz from the Leibniz University, a member of the NASA Mars Exploration Rover Mission Spirit und Opportunity, investigates the Martian surface since 2004. Join him to hear about the green-blue Martian sunsets, several other scientific highlights and exciting stories around the mission of the two rovers. The 140cm tall rovers are driven by solar power. Like a geological scientist the rovers have got some scientific devices like the MIMOSII to identify minerals, e.g. Jarosit, which grows only in liquid water and proved that the Mars was once a blue planet. The same MIMOSII device revealed a hidden artwork around Gustav Klimt.
