At the dawn of the 21st century, NASA crafted four potential pathways to Mars human missions, [78] of which three included a Mars sample return as a prerequisite to human landing. [78] The rover Perseverance, which landed on Mars in 2021, is equipped with a device that allows it to collect rock samples to be returned at a later date by another ...
NASA’s Perseverance rover is tackling a steep new challenge on Mars. The rover will go up 1,000 feet (305 meters) to the rim of Jezero Crater to dig up rock samples. Since landing on the red ...
The Night Rover Challenge is to build a solar-powered robot which can operate on stored energy for a significant portion of time. The intent is to spur development of extreme environment battery technology for use in space missions. The prize is US$1.5 million.
