American space agency, NASAWorking on the plan Bring samples from the Martian surface to our planet. loss the rover (space exploration device) NASA They have been roaming the surface of Mars for yearsCollecting data and samples to expand our knowledge of the Big Red Planet.
But the space agency has determined that It’s time to come home to your questWith the intention of the samples being studied personally by earth scientists. The official NASA press has explained through its page what measures they will take to recover the rover.
“During the project formulation phase, the agency will simultaneously implement two landing architectures or strategic plans, promoting competition and innovation, as well as cost and time savings.” They add that “NASA later plans to choose a single path for the program, aimed at Helping to better understand the mysteries of the universe and determine if the Red Planet ever hosted life“
Last September, the agency 11 studies were adopted The scientific community and the aerospace industry The best way to return these Martian samples to our planet. A team called the Mars Sample Return Strategic Review was charged with evaluating the research and recommending a preliminary architecture for the campaign, including associated cost and schedule estimates.
Nicky FoxDirector of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, explained that they want to bring them back as soon as possible. Study their state-of-the-art facilities.
He added that “returning samples from Mars will allow scientists to Understand the geological history of the planet And the evolution of the climate of this barren planet where life may have existed in the past and will shed light on the early solar system before life began on Earth. It will also prepare for us Send the first human explorer to Mars“
