NASA’s Mars perseverance rover launch: When to watch | via nytimes
On Thursday, NASA hopes to send a robotic rover and a small experimental helicopter on a journey of 6 and a half months to the red planet. It follows two earlier launches by the United Arab Emirates and China.
The rocket with the rover on top was rolled out to its launchpad Wednesday, and NASA’s administrator, Jim Bridenstine, said that the mission was technically ready for launch.What is the Perseverance rover? Every 26 months, Earth and Mars come close to each other, which allows the quickest, most efficient trip. If the launch does not occur by the middle of August, NASA would have to wait until the next opportunity, in 2022.Jezero crater was filled with water about 3.5 billion years ago when Mars was warmer and wetter. From orbit, earlier NASA spacecraft spotted a dried-up river on one side of Jezero and an outflow channel can be seen on the other side.
