Perseverance spacecraft: "We're definitely in the right place." Scientists studying Mars are delighted. The team of scientists operating the US space agency (NASA)'s Perseverance spacecraft on Mars has just breathed a sigh of relief. They now firmly believe that their robot is exploring the point where it could give signals about the possibility of life on Mars. They have found clues to that.


Last February, the Perseverance browse vehicle, nicknamed "Percy", hit the ground on Mars in the Jessero volcano. Since then it has been taking and sending thousands of pictures of its surroundings.


From the information collected by the Percy survey vehicle, it is possible to confirm that a river came into the lake and mixed with it. The river slows down before it meets the lake, forming a wedge-shaped alluvial bed or delta similar to what we see on Earth. It is in such an environment that the microbes thrive and their chemical traces are preserved.


"We see sudden lake eruptions in places like the himalayas on Earth. In the bed of the Ganges, river sand is mixed with rocks. This is due to flash floods from ice lakes. A team of Percy scientists is to send a patrol vehicle to the opening of the river bed. Drilling the rubble that is thought to be there. Will also explore the carbonate rocks at the edge of Lake Xerox.




The project to bring the rock to earth is more modern than ever before. nasa and NASA's joint ventures in the european Space Agency are involved in this effort. Another browse vehicle is to be sent to collect the Percy samples from wherever they are stored.




It is made in the UK. It will take rock samples and transfer them to the rocket. The rocket will be launched into orbit around Mars. Rock samples are then sent to Earth by satellite orbiting there. "We are entering a very exciting phase of Mars exploration," said Sue Horn of the UK Space Research Center. "The browse vehicle's capability is set to be tested next month, so the dream of exploring Mars' models will soon come true."
