Tantalizing opportunities for the six-wheeler’s science team while exploring a sediment-rich location in a Mars delta. NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has begun exploring a region near the base of Jezero Crater’s ancient river delta that the science team calls “Yori Pass.” They’ve been eager to ex
After it collects a sample from Yori Pass, Perseverance will drive 745 feet southeast to a mega sand ripple. Located in the middle of a small dune field, the ripple – called “Observation Mountain” by the science team – will be where the rover collects its first samples of regolith, or crushed rock and dust., including caching samples that may contain signs of ancient microbial life.
Subsequent NASA missions, in cooperation with ESA, would send spacecraft to Mars to collect these sealed samples from the surface and return them to Earth for in-depth analysis. The Mars 2020 Perseverance mission is part of NASA’s Moon to Mars exploration approach, which includesJPL, which is managed for NASA by Caltech, built and manages operations of the Perseverance rover.
