Mars Sample Return

Mars Sample Return is a planned mission to collect soil and rock samples from the surface of Mars and bring them back to Earth for detailed analysis. Scientists hope to learn more about Mars' geology, climate, and potential for past life. The mission involves several steps: a rover collects samples, then places them in a sealed container. This container is sent to a rocket that will launch it into orbit, where another spacecraft will retrieve it and return it to Earth. Analyzing these samples could provide crucial insights into the planet's history and its potential for supporting life.
