Perseverance will examine an astrobiological applicable old climate on Mars and research its surface geographical cycles and history, including the evaluation of its past tenability, the chance of previous existence on Mars, and the potential for the safeguarding of biosignatures inside available land materials.
Rover - Perseverance
The Mars 2020 rover, Perseverance, is based on the Mars science laboratory's Curiosity rover configuration. It is car-sized, about 10 feet long, 9 feet wide, and 7 feet tall. But at 2,260 pounds (1,025 kilograms), it weighs less than a compact car. In some sense, the rover parts are similar to what any living creature would need to keep it "alive" and able to explore.
- Body - a structure that protects the rover's "vital organs"
- Brains - computers to process information
- Temperature controls - internal heaters, a layer of insulation, and more
- Neck and head - a mast for the cameras to give the rover a human-scale view
- Eyes and ears - cameras and instruments that give the rover information about its environment
- Arm and hand - a way to extend its reach and collect rock samples for study
- Wheels and legs - parts for mobility
- Electrical power - batteries and power
- Communications - antennas for "speaking" and "listening"
The environment of NASA's activities place more scantily filled than past Mars arrivals due to safeguards needed by the Covid pandemic was meditatively peaceful, broken by praise as the explicit situation developed without an issue.
