According to a report by the United States Cable TV News Network on July 20, the US "Perseverance" detector found a mysterious rope on the surface of Mars.

On July 12, the "perseverance" Martian car left in front of the left in front of him took an unusual photo: a messy rope appeared on the surface of Mars, the shape was similar to Italian noodles. After 4 days, the rope was gone.

The official of the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) explained that it may be left by the "perseverance" when landing, and it forms a ball after entanglement.

A spokesman for the "perseverance" mission said that the object may fall off on the landing stage of the Mars car from a rocket -driven jet backpack.

However, the "perseverance" has been landing for a year and a half. The spokesman said that the "perseverance" had not been found in this area before, so it is likely that the wind blows the rope there.

Four days later, when the "perseverance" returned to the location of the rope again, it was gone.

NASA researchers are studying more information about these ropes and plans to announce more details later this week.

This is not the first time Mars car has left material fragments when landing on Mars.

The official account of "perseverance" posted on Twitter that the "perseverance" took a shiny foil in mid -June. The research team believes that this is part of the Martian car hot blanket. The hot blanket is a thin material that regulates temperature, which may fall off during the decline.

The "perseverance" is the ninth detector of NASA visited Mars. It launched on July 30, 2020 and landed on Mars on February 18, 2021.

The goal of the "perseverance" task includes signs of life that may exist in the ancient times of Mars, explore the geological and climate characteristics of Mars, collect rock and soil samples for future delivery of the earth, and explore Mars accumulation technology for future robots and humans.

At present, the "perseverance" Martian car is exploring an ancient Delta called Yezeluo's crater, looking for signs of micro -life on Mars on billions of years ago. This meteorite is also where the "perseverance" landed.
