Mars exploration seeks to understand the potential for life elsewhere in the universe; characterize the present and past climate and climate processes; understand geological processes affecting Mars' interior, crust, and surface; and, develop the knowledge and technology necessary for eventual human exploration. The design of a Mars Exploration rover is discussed, in particular it electronic components. The avionics development activities for the subsystem and hardware functionality are outlined. The functions and interfaces of the Rover Electronics Module, Cruise Electronics Module, and Lander Electronics Module are highlighted.
