Perseverance Rover captured marks on Mars while studying chemical structure of rocks
Published on May 17, 2021
On May 17th, 2021 NASA’s Perseverance Rover transmitted new Mars images with marks on sand (visually like human foot). Rover currently actively uses Supercam to study the surface of Mars. These marks most likely from the rover itself. SuperCam on the Perseverance rover examines rocks and soils with a camera, laser and spectrometers to seek organic compounds that could be related to past life on Mars. It can identify the chemical and mineral makeup of targets as small as a pencil point from a distance of more than 20 feet (7 meters). NASA tries to date rock samples – to be collected later in the mission – that might preserve a record of ancient microbes.
