NASA’s new 'mini' Mars rover can climb hills even if covered in sand and gravel. It’s a perfect tool for future exploration missions. The rolling hills of Mars are a long way from the nearest tow truck, so Georgia Tech researchers made a more resilient 'wiggling' vehicle. Unlike the NASA Curiosity rover or NASA Perseverance launching this summer, this latest design can walk, paddle and wheelspin its way up a hill.
