    • Why This Launch period?
    • Launch Period and Window
    • Launch

    As Earth and Mars race around the Sun, with Earth on the inside track, Earth laps Mars about once every 26 months. Launch opportunities to Mars occur at the same frequency, when the planets are positioned so that a spacecraft launched from Earth will be on a relatively short track to Mars (on the order of several months). This planetary clockwork, ...

    The launch period is the range of days when a launch is possible to achieve the designated mission goal — in this case, successfully landing at Mars' Jezero Crater. The launch period for Perseverance to do that is targeted to begin July 20 and extend to Aug. 11, 2020. The launch window is the time period on a given day during which the rocket must ...

    A two-stage United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V 541 launch vehicle will lift the Mars 2020 spacecraft from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. The numbers "541" in the launch vehicle's designation signify a 5-meter (17-foot) short payload fairing, four solid-rocket boosters, and a one-engine Centaur upper stage. It stan...

    • The Perseverance rover embodies the NASA — and the American — spirit of overcoming challenges. Getting the spacecraft to the launch pad this summer has required an extended effort.
    • Perseverance builds on the lessons of other Mars rovers. NASA's first rover on Mars was modest: Sojourner, the size of a microwave oven, demonstrated in 1997 that a robot could rove on the Red Planet.
    • The rover will be landing in a place with high potential for finding signs of past microbial life. Jezero Crater on Mars is a 28-mile-wide (45-kilometer-wide) crater on the western edge of Isidis Planitia, a giant impact basin just north of the Martian equator.
    • Perseverance will also be 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.

    • The Perseverance rover draws on the NASA – and scientific – spirit of overcoming challenges. The rover has a tough mission. Not only does it have to land on a treacherous planet, it has to work on its science goals: searching for signs of ancient microbial life, characterizing the planet’s geology and climate, collecting carefully selected rock and sediment samples for future return to Earth, and paving the way for human exploration beyond the Moon.

    • The rover will be landing in a place with high potential for finding signs of past microbial life. Jezero Crater is 28 miles (45 kilometers) wide and sits on the western edge of Isidis Planitia, a giant basin just north of the Martian equator dug out long ago when a space rock hit the surface.
