PREPARE FOR PERSEVERANCE THE NEXT MARTIAN ROVER

Reported by Kulvinder Singh Chadha

Meet the new Martian rover from NASA, Perseverance. This next-generation explorer was built upon the successes of its predecessors Spirit, Opportunity and the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), also known as Curiosity. All of these robot explorers have worked towards helping us better understand the planet next door, Mars, and in the wider scope of science understanding the past biology and geology of other worlds. Now the Mars 2020 mission’s Perseverance rover is looking to go even further.
