While the helicopter is an experiment designed to attempt the first powered, controlled flight on another planet, it doesn’t play a role in the science that Perseverance will be conducting. A key goal of the rover’s mission is <a href="https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(66, 139, 202);" class="">astrobiology</a>, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. Perseverance 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 samples of Martian rock as well as regolith, which is broken rock and dust. To do that, the rover first must land, and landing on Mars is hard. Only about half of all attempts by the world’s space agencies have succeeded – all of them by NASA. The last time a rover landed on the Red Planet was in 2012, with NASA’s Curiosity rover.</font></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 15px; -webkit-font-smoothing: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;" class=""><font face="Gill Sans" size="4" class="">Like Curiosity, Perseverance must survive the “seven minutes of terror” – a fiery trip through the Martian atmosphere using a heat shield, parachute, and rockets. During the sky crane maneuver, the descent stage will lower the rover onto Mars with nylon cables. But this latest landing involves an even higher level of difficulty: The most sophisticated rover ever built, Perseverance is the biggest and heaviest to attempt a Mars landing.
