June 09, 2021 This annotated image of Mars Jezero Crater depicts the route NASA’s Perseverance rover will take during its first science campaign – as well as its path to the location of its second science campaign. The image was provided by the High Resolution Imaging Experiment (HiRISE) aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance orbiter. Perseverance’s first science campaign sends the rover south and west of the Octavia E. Butler Landing Site to investigate and sample several of the deepest, and potentially oldest, accessible geologic units in Jezero Crater – the “Séítah” unit (which in Navajo language means “amidst the sand”), and the “Cratered Floor Fractured Rough.” At the completion of the science campaign, Perseverance will return to the “Octavia E. Butler” landing site on its way north, then head west toward the location where its second science campaign will begin.
