Perseverance rover is making a steep ascent to reach unexplored Martian territory

The Perseverance rover has started its climb up the steep rim of Jezero Crater on a mission to explore ancient rocks on Mars and search for signs of past life. The rover has already completed multiple science campaigns, collected rock samples, and traveled a significant distance. This climb up the crater rim, expected to be completed by the end of 2024, will provide scientists with access to some of the oldest rocks on Mars, potentially revealing valuable information about the planet’s early history and the possibility of habitable environments. The rover’s journey will be closely monitored by the science team.
