It was a banner week for NASA's Perseverance. Let's rove down memory lane to fully appreciate the rover's current moment.
Any $2.7-billion rover worth its salt is equipped with the right gear for deciphering every little feature it sees on a world hundreds of millions of miles away. After all, once it gets there, there’s no coming back.Perseverance hosts a suite of imagers for mapping out the Martian terrain, but also scrutinizing the itsy-bitsy elements contained in Martian rock samples.
[I]t’s easy to forget about the impressive arsenal of imaging technology at Perseverance’s disposal: There’s the chemistry-sensing, laser-shooting SuperCam; the x-ray rock-reader known as PIXL; and the Mastcam-Z imager . But that’s not all. There’s also the WATSON camera on the end of the rover’s robotic arm, which will allow the folks at NASA up-close looks at the rock samples. WATSON is part of SHERLOC , which can scrutinize rock for organic compounds and minerals that indicate how the rocks formed.
