Mars 2020 (Perseverance rover)

Mars 2020, featuring the Perseverance rover, is a NASA mission launched to explore Mars’ geology and search for signs of ancient microbial life. It carries advanced scientific instruments to analyze rocks, soils, and the planet’s climate, aiming to understand Mars' past habitability. Perseverance also tests new technologies, such as a landing system that allows precise descent and a device to convert CO₂ into oxygen. Additionally, it is collecting samples that could be returned to Earth in future missions. The mission advances our knowledge of Mars and prepares for future human exploration.
