Stone samples- NASA’s Perseverance mission was one of the most important missions, but now the Mars rover faces an interplanetary mystery. After the missing stone sample, engineers began to try to find it. Their goal is to find out what went wrong when the Mars Perseverance rover attempted to retrieve the stone from Mars. Although the robot mechanism was functioning properly, it was found empty when the metal tube that collected the stones and soil samples was examined.
Missing stone samples on Mars Perseverance Rover
NASA on Friday said the data indicated that “no stones were collected during the initial sampling activity.” This puzzle can be solved with more images and telemetry of Mars. The team working on the mission believes that the flaws cannot be attributed to the texture of the rocks on Mars. “Over the next few days, the team will be spending most of the time analyzing the data and trying to get additional data to understand the cause of the empty tube,” said Jennifer Trasper, project manager at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. from NASA, California, United States. space agency.
The ancient life of Mars could be known
The digging mechanism is present at the end of Perseverance’s two-meter-long robotic arm. The Mars Perseverance rover successfully landed at Jezero Crater in February and its first sample was to excite rather than shake its head. Mars is full of mysteries. Jezero Crater is considered the most inhospitable part of Mars. Jezero Crater has deep gorges, sheer mountains, sheer cliffs, sand dunes, and a sea of boulders and is a prime site for rovering them in search of signs of ancient life. The effort to collect samples may not have been successful, but the team hopes the effort to find out why the Stone samples have disappeared will be successful.
