Snake robots may be on the next mission to Mars: Slithering space machines set to help rovers explore the red planet's tricky areas | Mail Online: "Snakes are sneaky creatures that can be found almost anywhere. From the freezing Arctic to the planet’s arid deserts, these animals are talented travellers.
Now space scientists are planning to use this talent to explore a much tougher location- the hostile surface of Mars. A team from the SINTEF research institute in Trondheim, Norway, is studying how snake robots could be used to gather samples from hard-to-reach places on the red planet."
