Mars robot Perseverance – a high-tech laboratory on wheels
The Mars rover Perseverance has seven scientific instrument groups on board to collect information about the geology, the environment and the atmosphere at the landing site, but above all to find traces of life (biosignatures) that might be present in the sediments in Jezero Crater. Detailed information on the experiments can be found on the mission’s website. DLR scientists are involved in analysing data from the Mastcam-Z (Mast Camera, Zoom) stereo camera and the SuperCam spectrometer.
