NASA Mars Perseverance Rover Reviews
Brick Fanatics
“The all important Ultra-High Frequency Antenna on the Mars Perseverance Rover is what allows the vehicle to transmit the data it gets back to us on Earth, and no LEGO representation of a Mars Rover could really be complete without it. LEGO Technic set 42158 NASA Mars... More Perseverance Rover has exactly that, and the shape of the black Technic piece couldn’t be a better fit.”
“Included is an app available for the set that offers an AR experience and provides a lot of interesting information about the environmental conditions on Mars and the mission of the rover. The rover features 360-degree steering and a movable arm, as well as fully articulated... More wheel suspension, which ensures that the 6 wheels never lose traction, even on uneven terrain. A power generator, antennas, cameras and scientific instruments are just a few of the other buildable details.”
