Itoero Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 The first spacecraft to collect Martian rocks for eventual return to Earth will explore Jezero crater, NASA announced on 19 November. Jezero is a 45-kilometre-wide crater that was once filled with water, where Martian life could have thrived. “Getting samples from this unique area will revolutionize how we think about Mars and its ability to harbour life,” says Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA’s associate administrator for science, who chose Jezero over three other finalists. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07472-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
