Jul 3, 2019 · Astrobiologist Lewis Dartnell told Inverse in October that “while the first human mission to land on Mars will likely take place in the next two decades, it will probably be more like 50-100...
Sep 26, 2023 · One day on Mars lasts about 37 minutes longer than an Earth day. A year on Mars is almost twice as long as a year on Earth.
Tanker ship docks with Starship, refilling Starship and returning to Earth. Once Starship has been fully refueled, it will begin its journey from Earth orbit, around the Sun and onward to Mars. When Starship lands on Mars it will be refueled using Mars local resources of H20 and CO2.

- Perseverance is searching for signs of ancient life. While the surface of Mars is a frozen desert today, scientists have learned from previous NASA missions that the Red Planet once hosted running water and warmer environments at the surface that could have supported microbial life.
- The rover is landing in a place with a high potential for finding these signs of past microbial life. Terrain that is interesting to scientists can be challenging to land on.
- Perseverance is also collecting important data about Mars’ geology and climate. Context is everything. Mars orbiters have been collecting images and data from Jezero Crater from about 200 miles (322 kilometers) above, but finding signs of ancient life on the surface requires much closer inspection.
- Perseverance is the first leg of a round trip to Mars. The verification of ancient life on Mars carries an enormous burden of proof. Perseverance is the first rover to bring a sample caching system to Mars in order to package promising samples for return to Earth by a future mission.
Feb 18, 2021 · The landing of NASA's next Mars rover is now just days away. The car-size Perseverance rover, the centerpiece of NASA's $2.7 billion Mars 2020 mission, will hunt for signs of ancient life,...
