Why NASA calls landing the Mars rover 7 minutes of terror 01:26 (CNN)In 22 days, NASAs Mars 2020 Perseverance rover will land on Mars in Jezero Crater to search for signs of ancient life that may have been on the red planet in the past. The rover, which is the largest and most advanced rover NASA has ever built, will act as a robotic geologist, collecting samples of dirt and rocks that will eventually be returned to Earth by the 2030s. For that reason, Perseverance is also the cleanest machi...

On February 9, the United Arab Emirates’ Hope spacecraft is expected to enter orbit around Mars after a six-month, 300-million-mile journey from Earth. It will mark the beginning of a historic month for the Red Planet, which will see three separate national missions enter orbit or touch down on the surface. Two of the countries behind these missions, the UAE and China, will be visiting Mars for the first time; they will become the fifth and sixth countries to pull off that feat, respectively....

27 January 2021, 9:53 pm EST By NASAs Perseverance Rover, the final fleat in the Mars exploration is set to land the red planet in 22 days. It will be stationed at the Jezero Crater to search for any possible signs of life that may have existed in the planet during the ancient times. It is expected that once the spacecraft touches Mars surface, a seven-minute duration of utter uncertainty happens. Scientists call it "The Seven minutes of terror."
