NASA and ESA have a new plan to get Martian rock samples to Earth by 2033 - Hypertext

These samples are being collected with the hope that one day, in a future mission, they would be brought back to Earth. How exactly that would be accomplished has been unclear, but this week NASA and the European Space Agency detailed how it planned to accomplish this feat.

“The conceptual design phase is when every facet of a mission plan gets put under a microscope,” explains Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for science at NASA’s Washington headquarters. The plan is simple. Well as simple as rocket science on another planet can be. Rather than using a Sample Fetch Rover, the Sample Retrieval Lander will be used. This lander will house two helicopters. These helicopters will be based on. These helicopters will exit the lander and retrieve samples that have been dropped on the surface of Mars by Perseverance.

These two systems will need to work together to retrieve the samples brought to orbit by the Mars Ascent Vehicle.
