NASA's Mars Mission | Perseverance

Perseverance is a NASA rover built to explore the Jezero Crater on Mars
Perseverance launched on July 30, 2020, at 11:50 UTC and successfully landed on February 18, 2021, at 20:55 UTC. Since landing on December 29, 2022, Perseverance has been active on Mars for 661 sols (679 Earth days, or 1 year, 10 months, and 11 days).
Perseverance is an improvement from Curiosity (its predecessor) and is equipped with seven primary payloads, nineteen cameras, and two microphones. The rover also carried the Ingenuity mini-helicopter to Mars. Ingenuity is an experimental and technological aircraft that made its first powered flight on Mars on April 19, 2021. Perseverance is equipped with a device called SuperCam, capable of firing lasers that heat rocks to 10.000oC and melting them into plasma. This tool is designed to evaluate the chemical composition of rocks.
Perseverance's mission is to search for ancient life and collect rocks and soil. By understanding Jezero's history, scientists can pinpoint the most likely locations in the crater to find traces of ancient life. And that important location is the Jezero delta.
Scientists have long suspected delta as a likely source of fossil evidence. Billions of years ago, a river watershed many times the size of Jezero crater itself flowed into the crater. As the water moves, it picks up pieces of rock from a large catchment area before depositing it into the crater. Over time silt and sand would bury these rocks creating the ideal environment for preserving biological markers and complex organic molecules.
