Eelmise, 2020. aasta suvel Marsile startinud NASA kulgur jõudis täna, 18. veebruaril kohale ja maandus edukalt Marsi pinnal. Kulgur saatis ühtlasi esimese pildi.
Videos on näha, kuidas NASA töötajad rõõmustavad kulgurilt saabunud esimese pildi üle.
Kunagi oli Marsil arvatavalt elu samamoodi nagu Maa peal, seal olid järved ja voolasid jõed. Kulgur Perseverance (tõlkes: Visadus) saadeti Marsi pinnale muistse elu jälgi otsima.

A long time ago, Mars was a world flowing with rivers and streams. We know this thanks to decades of work by robotic explorers and their teams on Earth.
What we don’t know: did life ever thrive on Mars?
Now, the @NASAPersevere mission will take an even closer look. 1/4 pic.twitter.com/ipGqq3R3Hr

On July 30, 2020, @NASAPersevere launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on its journey to Mars. 🚀🔴
Today, the rover will attempt to land on the Red Planet to search for signs of ancient life. Tune in at 2:15 p.m. ET for live coverage: https://t.co/1XQVlkaW6V pic.twitter.com/bUw9rz3UTH
