Which Mars rover, launched in 2003, holds the record for the longest distance driven on another planet?

Correct

Answer given

Opportunity

Answer

Opportunity. NASA's Opportunity rover landed on Mars in January 2004 and operated for nearly 15 years, far exceeding its planned 90-day mission. Before contact was lost in 2018 due to a global dust storm, it had traveled over 45 kilometers across the Martian surface. This shattered the previous extraterrestrial driving record held by the Soviet Lunokhod 2 moon rover.

Ash's grade

Correct — Opportunity is the right answer.
