Mars 2020 Rover Classic Round Sticker

Ad: Mars 2020 Rover Classic Round Sticker NASA's Mars 2020 Rover mission is the next robotic exploration program to the red planet launching aboard an Atlas V rocket in July of 2020 and landing at the Jezero crater on Mars in February 2021. It will perform its scientific activities over at least one Mars year of 687 Earth days continuing the work started by Curiosity InSight Spirit and Opportunity. A unique feature of the mission is that the Mars 2020 rover will collect samples from rocks and soils and cache them for return to Earth on a later mission. Other technology will extract oxygen from the largely carbon dioxide atmosphere on Mars to prove that astronauts can generate breathable air when they land in future decades. myMarsSpace #mars #planet #rover #spacecraft #ClassicRoundSticker

Ad: Mars 2020 Perseverance Launch Throw Pillow The Mars 2020 Perseverance rover was launched to the red planet on July 30 2020 with landing at Jezero crater on February 18 2021. The powerful Atlas rocket lifted off from Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral Florida to put the payload on an interplanetary trajectory. The rover is similar to the currently operating Curiosity but with a new sampling and caching system that will collect mars soil and rocks for future return to Earth on another mission. Also new on this mission is a Mars helicopter called Ingenuity that will fly above Martian surface scouting interesting targets for the rover. myMarsSpace #mars #perseverance #rover #spacecraft #helicopter #ThrowPillow

Ad: Mars Sample Return Mission Postcard Launch of the Mars Sample Return Mission from the Red Planet carrying rock and soil samples gathered by the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover. To date the only samples of Mars we have studied have been in the form of meteorites found in Antartica. This scientific space mission will bring back pristine samples of the Martian surface as gathered by the Perseverance Rover and stored in special containers awaiting the sample return lander and launch vehicle. myMarsSpace #mars #sample #return #soil #rocks #Postcard
