Answer:

Space Rovers

Step-by-step explanation:

The engineering advancement of the invention space rovers has changed space exploration tremendously. The first space rover ever to go out onto another planet was made by NASA and put on mars to learn more about the red planet and see if there where any plausible signs of past or maybe even present life. This mission was incredibly successful and for the first time in space exploration history, there was a spacecraft that you could move around that could with do the conditions of the planet for weeks, months, sometimes years at a time, moving around taking pictures and constantly collecting data. This was revolutionary for scientists, this way they could get copious amounts of information just on rover and not having to send multiple crafts only to die in the first few hours but sending back a relative amount of information. With rovers you can have them collect samples and bring the back to earth, not something that could’ve been done without a human, until rovers. They have completely changed and improved collecting data from other planets and have been one of the most revolutionary inventions when it comes to space exploration.

This is what I put for the answer, hope it helps in some way.
