Note: The mast camera of the "perseverance" detector Mastcam-Z took this panoramic stitching photo on August 4, 2022. This car -sized automatic detector is continuously exploring a fan -shaped Delta formed by a river. For billions of years ago, the river flowed into the Yezuro meteor pit of Mars. The sedimentary rock preserved in the Yezero Delta is considered one of the best places for Mars to find ancient microorganisms. Essence The sample collected from these areas is sealed in an ultra -clean sample tube, and it is planned to send it back to the earth by the future Mars probe. Starting from the 1997 Mars and Mars Global Survey Mission, in the past 25 years, automatic detectors that have continued to launch on this red planet include rail aircraft, lander, inspectors, and helicopters from the earth.
