Join Maddie as she finds out how the robots astronauts use in space have helped us to create robots we use here on Earth. We discover there are lots of different types of space robots, robonauts that help astronauts to do jobs, space probes that travel to far off parts of the solar system, and landers and rovers - robots that land on planets like Mars to collect information.

We learn how robots are sent on special missions to Mars and how they take pictures and send information back to Earth. Maddie visits a research centre to meet a Mars rover robot and uses her special cameras to help us see how it moves over the ground.
