The Perseverance rover

The Perseverance rover is a robotic vehicle sent by NASA to explore Mars. Launched in 2020, its mission is to search for signs of past microbial life, study the planet's climate and geology, and collect samples for future return to Earth. Equipped with advanced scientific instruments and cameras, it navigates the Martian surface, analyzes rocks and soil, and tests new technology like the first helicopter on another planet, Ingenuity. Perseverance helps scientists understand Mars’ history and assess its potential to support life, paving the way for future human exploration.
