The rover is imaging the area and studying the weather as engineers chart its course…
Over the next several months, Perseverance will be exploring a four sq km patch of the crater floor, from where it will collect soil samples. The Perseverance rover trundling the surface of Mars began its most critical mission phase — looking for ancient microbial life. This phase of the mission began on June 1, the…
