The nuclear power generator for NASA’s Perseverance rover has been installed on the spacecraft atop an Atlas 5 rocket at Cape Canaveral, and mission managers gave a green light Wednesday to continue preparations for the rover’s July 30 launch.
NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover is obviously the star of the Mars 2020 mission.
Nasa’s Perseverance Mars rover has been attached to the top of the rocket that will send it toward the Red Planet.
NASA’s Mars rover Perseverance is scheduled to launch in the coming weeks, the agency’s latest effort to search for life on the Red Planet.
The Red Planet’s surface has been visited by eight NASA spacecraft. The ninth will be the first that includes gathering Mars samples for future return to Earth.
The moniker captures the spirit of space exploration remarkably well, NASA officials said.
