NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover Lands Safely on Mars

July 30, 2020 NASA sent its most advanced rover to Mars. 203 days later, it landed safely on the surface of the planet. The rover will spend 2 years investigating the Jazero Crater. It will investigate the rock and sediment of Jezero's ancient lakebed and river delta to characterize the region's geology, and past climate. Part of its investigation also includes searching for signs of microbial life. Sending the rover to Mars not only to find and collect scientific samples, but it also sets the stage for future robotic missions to Mars. This is important because it can not only help collect data for future robotic missions, but also eventually human missions to mars. The data collected from the rover could help NASA understand more about Mars for future missions.
I like this article, I saw it on a website too. I cant believe that we can send actual robots onto planets.
ReplyDeleteI think it's cool how rovers can bring back a planet's debris that can tell us so much about its past climate.
