Washington, Feb 15 : After a nearly seven-month journey to Mars, NASA s Perseverance rover, its first mission to collect Martian broken rock and dust, is slated to land at a tricky terrain of the Red Planet on February 18.
The rover will characterise the planet s geology and past climate and pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet.
The Perseverance rover, NASA s most sophisticated rover yet, will try to land at the Red Planet s Jezero Crater.
