**MARS 2020 MISSION UPDATES**
NASA is sending the Perseverance rover to Mars to explore Jezero crater and search for evidence of ancient life. The rover launched successfully (beautifully!) from Cape Canaveral on July 30 at 7:50 am EDT (click here to re-watch) and touched down beautifully on February 18, 2021. Perseverance has been on Mars for more that 6 months and is doing great. We've collected three rock samples and are about the collect a fourth! Can't wait to see these rocks in person some day. Follow along here for updates or at NASA's Mars 2020 mission website.
