A NASA rover on Mars is tackling a new challenge and climbing to the rim of a crater.
This image provided by NASA, shows a selfie of their Perseverance Mars rover, on July 23, 2024. The image is made up of 62 individual images that were stitched together. The six-wheeled rover has spent the last 3 1/2 years roaming around the bottom of a crater. On Tuesday, it began climbing to the top.The rover will go up 1,000 feet to the rim of Jezero Crater to dig up.
The bedrock at the rim of the crater might yield clues as to how rocky planets like Mars and Earth came to be, said Steven Lee with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. “Perseverance has certainly been a real trooper,” said Lee. The rover has logged around 18 miles during its exploration.
