What is the name of the NASA rover that landed on Mars on Thursday?
Perseverance
NASA's Perseverance rover successfully touched down on Mars on Thursday, in a quest to find signs of ancient life on the red planet. Perseverance landed in Jezero Crater, which is thought to have once been the site of a large river delta flowing into a crater lake. The spacecraft traveled 293 million miles since launching on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket on July 30, 2020. Perseverance is now NASA's fifth rover to land on Mars and is set to begin a two-year mission to roam its surface and search for signs of ancient microbial life.
