Perseverance, NASA’s most sophisticated Rover to Mars, is just a few hours away from its liftoff.
The Mars 2020 mission, taking Perseverance to the Red Planet, is set to be launched through #AtlasV rocket today.
The 6-wheeled, nuclear-powered robot, Perseverance made her way to the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center two days ago.
It is the first rover to have a drone helicopter, Ingenuity, integrated on it. Perseverance will reach Mars after a seven-month long journey, and will land on the Martian surface at Jezero crater on Feb 18, 2021.
Perseverance is carrying 23 cameras and two microphones, along with several other scientific instruments that will be used to study the Martian environment and search for signs of ancient life. This is a significant milestone in research on the Red Planet as it may pave way for humans to step on Mars in future.
The liftoff will take place today [Thursday, July 30], at 4:50 a.m. Pacific Time [4:50 p.m. Pakistan Standard Time] and will be broadcasted live.
