《漫游火星》是2006年上映的美国纪录片、短片电影，由George Butler执导，保罗·纽曼、Stephen Squyres及Rob Manning等主演。《漫游火星》讲述了2004年美国太空总署『勇气号』(Spirit)以及『机遇号』(Opportunity)两辆人造探测车在火星上的种种发现。
如果有个漫游机器人在火星表面有信息传回地球，机器人会先将数据保存起来，等到卫星绕到了可以接收信号的轨道范围再发送出去；
For example, if a rover on Mars needs to send data to Earth, it would first need to store the data until it was within range of an orbiting satellite.
结束当天工作之前，漫游车会向“火星奥德赛”人造卫星发送照片以及他们所在地点的其他数据，卫星随后将信息转回任务控制中心。
Before shutting down each night, the rovers send pictures and other data of their positions to an orbiter called Mars Odyssey, which relays them back to mission control.
据说火星漫游者计划送出的探测器自2004年以来完成的工作量仅仅相当于一个载有两人的阿波罗航天器一天的工作量。
It's been said that the Mars rovers that have been on Mars since 2004 have done about as much work as a single, two-man Apollo crew would do in a day.
