Mars 2020 Perseverance is part of NASAs Moon to Mars exploration plan, which also includes Moon-based Artemis missions.

Uniindia: Los Angeles, Sep 16 (UNI) NASAs Perseverance rover has started its second science campaign on Mars, collecting rock-core samples in an area long considered by scientists to be a top prospect for finding signs of ancient microbial life on the Red Planet, NASA said on Thursday.

Nasa has said that the rover has analysed the most organic-rich samples on Mars and there could be more than meets the eye.

NASA said Thursday that its Perseverance rover had collected 12 compelling rock core samples on Mars. The rover is hunting in the red planet's Jezero Crater.

The collection of organic matter from the Jezero Crater, which likely once held a lake and the delta that emptied into it, suggests it had potentially habitable environments 3.5 billion years ago.

Organic molecules consist of compounds made primarily of carbon and usually include hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
