  • SKF Bearings Help Mars Rover Collect Rock Samples On The Planet’s Surface

    These highly engineered components contribute to the survival of the rover’s main robotic arm, sample collecting turret, tool bit carousel and sample handling assembly during a months-long trip through space, and its function as intended on the Mars surface.
