Materials and physics in Mars rovers

[vickizhao]

I'm doing a research paper <again> and I need information on the Mars Rovers (Opportuniy or Spirit or both) and what materials make up those rovers and how physics is applied there etc...im really just starting to learn physics so i don't know much

[jk]Have you tried looking on ebay?[/jk]

Your start should be NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory:

Any specific questions, go ahead and ask.

OK, I have a question: Why, oh why, are the rover's designed for 90 day's? What IS the problem for them not going on for much, much longer? Seems bizarre to me.
