Here's some text from the website...

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory has released Maestro, a public version of the primary software tool used by NASA scientists to design goals for the Mars Exploration Rovers and analyze the images received from Mars. Anyone can download Maestro for free from http://mars.telascience.org/ and use it to follow along with the rovers’ progress during the mission. You can use Maestro to view pictures from Mars in 2D and 3D and create simplified rover activity plans. During the mission, updates will be released for Maestro containing the latest images from Mars.

The file is 38 megs...
Looks awesome though....

Can we hack into the rover using the software?

LOL...If we can, I'm not going to do it...

You can move the rover around [in simulation mode], but I have not played with that much.
