Repost from @lowellobservatory using @RepostRegramApp - The Mars 2020 rover mission will launch a rover to a single location on Mars as part of the Mars Exploration Program (MEP). The mission takes the next step by not only seeking signs of habitable conditions on Mars in the ancient past, but also searching for signs of past microbial life itself. The Mars 2020 rover introduces a drill that can collect core samples of the most promising rocks and soils and set them aside in a "cache" on the surface of Mars. The mission also provides opportunities to gather knowledge and demonstrate technologies that address the challenges of future human expeditions to Mars. #Mars #LowelObservatory #DiscoverTheSky #NASA @NASA #TheMoreYouKnow https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn40gEJg8u1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kgjfdu8lnj1f
