A Rover Retrospective: Turning Trials to Triumphs in 2024 - NASA Science

A look back at a few Mars 2020 mission highlights of 2024   Perseverance’s past year operating on the surface of Mars was filled with some of the mission’s highest highs, but also some of its greatest challenges. True to its name and its reputation as a mission that overcomes challenges, Perseverance and its team […]

⤴️ this calibration target is part of a group of targets made of spacesuit materials: here a polycarbonate for use in a helmet visor. Scientists observe these materials to see how they react over time to the irradiated Martian atmosphere. Here are three other targets captured yesterday.

Perseverance Matters - NASA Science

It is an important and exciting juncture in Mars exploration and astrobiology. This year, the SHERLOC instrument beat the odds and made one of the most exciting discoveries of the Mars 2020 mission.

“Mars is hard, and bringing instruments back from the brink is even harder”

After six months of effort, an instrument that helps the Mars rover Perseverance look for potential signs of ancient microbial life has come back online.
