QUESTION: Does the rover have lights on the front so the cameras can see where it is going? ANSWER from Pieter Kallemeyn on May 27, 1997: The only lights on the rover are lasers which are used for determining the distance from the camera to the surface of the rock or ground being imaged. No lights are used for illumination since surface activity occurs only during "daylight hours" on Mars. Mars does indeed get some daylight and it is enough to photograph objects. - Pieter Kallemeyn
