Humans will set foot on Mars this century, predicts space exploration scientist – Telegraph.co.uk
NASA’s Perseverance rover aims to uncover the secrets of the Red Planet and shed light on whether it ever hosted life – or could do so again
To establish if life was ever supported on Mars, scientists will use cutting-edge technology to collect samples of rock and soil which will be sealed in titanium tubes then eventually shipped back to Earth to be analysed in advanced laboratories.
The Perseverance rover will leave the tubes on the surface of Mars and a second smaller “fetching” device, built by the European Space Agency, will be deployed later this decade to pick them up and bring them home.
