English: PIA24748: Perseverance's Arm Over Paver Rocks
https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA24748 The robotic arm on NASA's Perseverance rover reached out to examine rocks in an area on Mars nicknamed the Cratered Floor Fractured Rough area in this image captured on July 10, 2021. The robotic arm on NASA's Perseverance rover reached out to examine rocks in an area on Mars nicknamed the "Cratered Floor Fractured Rough" area in this image captured on July 10, 2021 (the 138th sol, or Martian day, of its mission). The image was taken by one of the rover's hazard cameras. An additional set of images from July 10-12 have been compiled into a GIF. Scientists are particularly interested in the flat rocks that appear light in color (nicknamed "paver rocks"). This image was processed to enhance contrast. A key objective for Perseverance's mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet's geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith (broken rock and dust). Subsequent NASA missions, in cooperation with ESA (European Space Agency), would send spacecraft to Mars to collect these sealed samples from the surface and return them to Earth for in-depth analysis. The Mars 2020 Perseverance mission is part of NASA's Moon to Mars exploration approach, which includes Artemis missions to the Moon that will help prepare for human exploration of the Red Planet. JPL, which is managed for NASA by Caltech in Pasadena, California, built and manages operations of the Perseverance rover. |
