Perseverance Mars Rover @NASAPersevere@mastodont.cat

Wrapped up a good week of science at “Bastide” rock. I’ve hit the road again and I’m on the lookout for a good “parking spot” to wait out solar conjunction (when the Sun blocks signals to Mars). Lots of “parking” spaces to choose from.

I core rocks, do science and occasionally I take selfies.

I took this one at “Citadelle” after collecting two rock cores from the rock “Rochette,” shown here on the bottom left.

Flight 14 by the #MarsHelicopter is coming up to help scout areas I may visit in the future.

The name’s Perseverance, and I love nothing more than staring at rocks and figuring out how they got there. Here’s my new parking spot for my next round of Mars science.

I’m carefully winding my way through some sandy ripples, while taking in the sights of the layered rocks around me. With another day or two of driving, I should be at my next destination.

Coming down off the ridge and heading into the “South Séítah” region, which the #MarsHelicopter began scouting last month. Together, our cameras have spied some interesting rock formations up ahead. (Mine on left, Ingenuity’s on right.)

#SamplingMars is underway. I’ve drilled into my rock target, and my team will be looking at more data and images to confirm if we were able to get and retain an intact core.

I’m trying to get to know rocks on a deeper level. As I get ready to scour a small hole in my new target rock, get a look at the tool I’m using and how it works.

The rocks on top of this ridge have been sitting here getting sandblasted by Mars winds for eons. This one looks like a good, solid target for my next drilling effort. Next step: abrade a small test patch. #SamplingMars

Ingenuity captured 10 color images of this region, which can help my team figure out whether I should drive ahead to investigate potentially interesting rocks in “South Seítah” or remain in my current location.

When you’re in a new land, you can’t help but take lots of pictures. In my six months as a Martian resident, I’ve built up quite a collection. See all my photos here, and even upvote your favorites to become Image of the Week: http://go.nasa.gov/perseverance-raw-images

I’ve made it to Mars, but I didn’t make it alone. As many head #BackToSchool, see some of the places an education can take you. Check out the team of “Martians” whose @NASASTEM careers keep me roving: http://mars.nasa.gov/people

Are you able to find me? Ingenuity captured me hard at work as it scouted the South Séítah region here in Jezero Crater.

2021-08-11 18:15:38

My first drill hole on Mars! Collecting and storing rock samples is a big and complex task, and this is a huge step. Next step: processing. #SamplingMars

My team has been preparing me for this moment for years. On the eve of #SamplingMars, my chief engineer for sampling and caching shares her thoughts.

The #MarsHelicopter has made it safely to its latest “airfield,” northwest of my current spot. Can’t wait to see the scouting images it sends back from this area.

2021-08-05 19:14:47

This is it—the target for my first core sample. This rock may be the oldest I get to sample, so it’ll be a great start to my rock collection. #SamplingMars
