      The Rover is quite slow really, if we are traveling longer distances between interesting places on the Mars surface we will have ‘top speed’ of about 70 meters per day (sorry, we work in metric units), so that’s a speed of about 7-9 meters an hour! as we only travel when we have Sun Light on the Solar panels to generate enough electrical power to drive the wheel motors.
