NASA’s rover Perseverance on the way to Mars – Deutsche Welle
Perseverance is NASA’s fifth Mars rover and its biggest and heaviest to date. Its mission at the Red Planet starts in February 2021.
Without the experience of Sojourner, newer rovers could have hardly been envisaged. In 2004, NASA landed two robots of the same model on Mars: Spirit and Opportunity. Spirit survived for six years, travelling a distance of 7.7 kilometers. The robot climbed mountains, took soil samples and withstood winter and sandstorms. Its sibling, Opportunity, lost contact on February 13, 2019.
