Articles about Perseverance Rover
The Perseverance Rover rover was sent to Mars by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It was launched on July 30, 2020, from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. It successfully landed on the red planet on February 18, 2021. Its landing site is called the Jezero crater. The Perseverance Rover's mission objective is to seek signs of ancient life and collect samples of rock and Regolith (broken rock and soil) for a possible return to Earth via a manned mission in the future. The rover contains several technology demonstrations on-board including the Mars helicopter that successfully completed its 30-day demonstration phase and is now in the operations demo phase as of September 2021. The rover has also been sent to Mars to assess ancient habitability, scout for rocks known to preserve signs of life over time, and demonstrate technology for future robotic and human exploration on the red planet. Perseverance is expected to spend at least one Martian year (two Earth years) exploring its landing site. The mission is being managed for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington D.C. by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory of Caltech in Pasadena, California.
