Report Abuse. The lander is the part of the craft that breaks orbit to actually land on the body in question. It is designed to land under controlled conditions, and does not move once there. Rover is a mechanized transport for use on the surface. It sometimes transports humans, and sometimes it transports remotely controlled scientific equipment. This depends on the mission in question. For the Apollo missions, the orbiter, lander and rover were manned craft.
The roverÂ´s energy. The rover requires power to operate. Without power, it cannot move, use its science instruments, or communicate with Earth. The main source of power for each rover comes from a multi-panel solar array. They look almost like wings, but their purpose is to provide energy, not fly. When fully illuminated, the rover solar arrays generate about 140 watts of power for up to four hours per sol (a Martian day). The rover needs about 100 watts (equivalent to a standard light bulb in a home) to drive.
