   Oct 12, 2021 · The rover later sealed the rock core in its tube. This historic event marked the first time a spacecraft packed up a rock sample from another planet that could be returned to Earth by future spacecraft. Mars Sample Return is a multi-mission campaign designed to retrieve the cores Perseverance will collect over the next several years.

   The first step in Mars Sample Return began with NASA's Perseverance rover, which has been collecting and caching samples on Mars since landing on the Red Planet on Feb. 18, 2021. When other NASA and ESA missions arrive at Mars, the samples would be transferred and stowed safely for transport to Earth by an orbiter.

   Oct 28, 2022 · The first depot of Mars samples can be considered a major de-risking step for the Mars Sample Return Campaign.” The first step in the campaign is already in progress. Since Perseverance landed at Jezero Crater on Feb. 18, 2021, the rover has explored 8.2 miles (13.2 kilometers) of Martian surface and collected 14 rock-core samples during its first two science campaigns.

   Will NASA Return Martian samples to Earth?

   • NASA, along with the European Space Agency, is developing a campaign to return the Martian samples to Earth. On Sept. 1, NASA’s Perseverance rover unfurled its arm, placed a drill bit at the Martian surface, and drilled about 2 inches, or 6 centimeters, down to extract a rock core. The rover later sealed the rock core in its tube.

   Dec 13, 2021 · Surviving landing is just part of the challenge: Safely launching the nine-foot-long (2.8-meter-long) two-stage rocket that will sit atop the lander’s deck adds another level of difficulty. Mars’ gravity is one-third that of Earth’s, and the rocket’s weight, combined with its exhaust, could cause the lander to slip or tilt.
