BALTIMORE, md. â Right now, a little piece of Maryland is on Mars. NASA s Perseverance Rover landed on Mars Thursday, February 18. It landed in the Jezero Crater, which is thought to have once been a lake. You can follow Perseverance here.
Perseverance is powered by something called a Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator or MMRTG created by Teledyne Energy Systems in Hunt Valley. It s a nuclear battery that converts plutonium into more than 110 watts of electricity. It also produces heat to maintain the rover s system at a proper operating temperature, since it s so cold in space and on the surface of mars.
A Baltimore County effort to supply food banks and homeless shelters with produce grown at a Cockeysville agriculture center has wasted more than $1 million and yielded a fraction of the expected food, according to a report from the Baltimore County Office of the Inspector General.

Maryland’s county and city leaders teamed up on Tuesday to urge the General Assembly to override Gov. Larry Hogan’s veto of legislation that would establish a permanent funding source for the Prescription Drug Affordability Board.
The Senate voted to override the veto in January. The House of Delegates is expected to consider a veto override later this month. Hogan vetoed the legislation last year along with 21 other bills due to fiscal concerns related to the coronavirus pandemic. The legislation unanimously passed the Senate and received overwhelming support in the House.
