NASA’s Mars Rover Continues To Discover New Territory!

NASA’s Perseverance Rover has been staying very busy on the Martian surface as it makes its way to new territory. With the help of Ingenuity, the two have been making impressive progress and some fascinating discoveries. This includes dust devils, unique rock structures, and evidence of water from the past, just to name a few. At the same time, the rover is also collecting samples as it goes in preparation for the Mars Sample Return mission which is being prepared.
