About this mod
This mod places static models of 4 probes on the surface of Mars: Insight lander, Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity, Curiosity rover.
- Permissions and credits
The Insight lander mission used, among others, a seismometer and a heat probe pushed under the surface.
Unfortunately the heat probe didn't perform as expected, but we got quite some data about marsquakes.
Original source for the model: https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/resources/2380/insight-3d-model/
MER-A / Spirit and MER-B / Opportunity are placed on the surface of Mars, in their approximate positions in Gusev crater and near Endeavour crater respectively.
Both rovers landed on Mars in 2004. Despite a planned duration of 90 Martian days (Sol), Spirit continued its exploration mission until 2010 when communications were lost, and Opportunity operated until the end of 2018 passing through dust storms thanks to hibernation cycles to save battery power, quite a feat for a solar powered rover.

This addon needs Mars HD DLC for the rovers to appear at their intended positions.
The rover Curiosity, placed where it was during Sol 2664 on Mars surface, while exploring Gale crater.

This addon needs Gale crater addon (not available yet) for the rover to appear at its intended position.
