- Meet the 21st Martian sample collected by NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover - “Pilot Mountain,” a rock sample believed to be among the youngest preserved material in Jezero Crater.
The team’s decision to sample this area was based on images taken by the Ingenuity helicopter, which showed interesting rocks scientists had not yet seen. An initial abrasion revealed green, glassy grains that represent some of the youngest material Perseverance has investigated. Comparing rocks of different ages can help shed light on the evolution of the planet.
As of early November 2023, the Perseverance rover has collected and sealed 23 scientifically selected samples inside pristine tubes as part of the Mars Sample Return campaign. The next stage is to get them to Earth for study.
Considered one of the highest priorities by the scientists in the Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey 2023-2032, Mars Sample Return would be the first mission to return samples from another planet and provides the best opportunity to reveal the early evolution of Mars, including the potential for ancient life. NASA is teaming with ESA (European Space Agency) on this important endeavor.
A key objective for Perseverance's mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet's geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, as well as be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith (broken rock and dust).

Keep on keeping on ingenuity, keep feeding us new questions to ask 🏆🏆🏆
PS voyagers 1&2 now there's the little engine that could x2🎉🎉
⛔️ STOP wasting taxpayers money on gravity wells of Mars or the moon⛔️ Spend our money on building space ships & space cities 🤏
Received with gratitude 🙂
The unknown is where the magic is. 10-2 the -37 yeah baby yeah.💥
Keep up the great work! Incredible science and a nice video.
Thank you for the information. Next stop: Sample 22.
Very interesting news. Ingenuity is remarkable, and still flying!
Good luck 🍀🎉
What's up for December?
🙏🙏👍
let us hope congress is smart enough to allocate the funds to bring these samples back. but...yeah.
I am in Curiosity sol 1065. Curiosity looks down the hill to me by the black face .
My friend has done the work. Come see.
So they shoot the video when they found rock under their table on that Mars desert
🧐 ?
Ingenuity Is the Best helicopter
Space, the final frontier, a place where only robots go and humans stay home using their phones to see Tik Tok, and youtube.
Sooo, for a "meet the sample" I don't think I learned much about it. All I know at this point is its name lol.
consider it a speed date
apparently this isnt the sample for you. GOOD LUCK!
Ooops forgot to mention
Two weeks ago I was at the Parkes radio telescope where we still talk to voyagers and where "we" seen the moon landing before USA (sorry not sorry 😂)
Enjoying your snippets of interest.🏆🦘☮️
