Mars rover axed by Nasa needs new home - BBC News

Engineers are looking for a new destination for a rover that was supposed to go to Mars.

The vehicle was originally developed to help bring back rocks from Mars, but officials at the US and European space agencies (Nasa and Esa) axed it from the project.

This has left the UK team at aerospace company Airbus scrambling to find an alternative place to send their technology.

There's a possibility the rover could now be repackaged to work on the moon's surface.
