  • サマリー

  • If all goes according to plan, the landing of the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover (“Percy”) tomorrow (February 18, 2021) will mark the start of NASA’s ninth surface mission on the Red Planet. Percy will touch down in Jezero crater on Mars, where she will set off exploring new and uncharted terrains in search of ancient signs of life. Nearly 60 years have passed since the first spacecraft were sent to Mars, and it’s inspiring (albeit sometimes unbelievable) to reflect on the progress that has been made since then. First, we sent spacecraft to fly-by, then to orbit, then to land, and finally to rove. As we’ve become more familiar with Mars over time, and as our technological capabilities have improved, our methods of and goals for exploration have evolved in turn.  And with each new mission, humans have pushed the boundaries a little more—or in the case of Percy, a lot more. Here I highlight three new (and particularly challenging) aspects of the Mars 2020 mission that distinguish it from previous missions and that have the potential to significantly impact the future of Mars exploration.
