HOW DO WE GET MARS 8AM D ES SAFELY TO EARTH? 0:20 / 3:08 NASAUet Propulsion Laboratonr California rsbitute of Technclogy X Oct 27 NASA's Perseverance Mars rover is filling sample tubes with rocky material on the Red Planet as the agency works on the next steps to get them safely back to Earth. The Mars Sample Return campaign would bring samples collected by the Perseverance rover to Earth for detailed study. The campaign involves an international interplanetary relay team, including the European Space Agency (ESA). These samples could answer a key question: did life ever exist on Mars? Aaron Yazzie, who works on the Mars Sample Return campaign, explains the work being done at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to ensure the safe return of the sample tubes.

NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government, responsible for civilian space exploration, scientific research, and aeronautics research. It was established in 1958 as a response to the Soviet Union's launch of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik. NASA's primary goal is to pioneer the future of space exploration, scientific discovery, and aeronautics research. The agency conducts missions to study Earth, the solar system, and the universe, using a fleet of satellites, telescopes, and spacecraft. NASA has sent astronauts to the Moon, Mars, and conducted groundbreaking research in various fields, including astrophysics, geology, biology, and climate science. NASA operates numerous research centers, including the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Johnson Space Center in Texas, and Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. It collaborates with international space agencies, private companies, and academic institutions to advance its scientific and technological objectives. In addition to space exploration, NASA is committed to inspiring and engaging the public in the wonders of science and space. The agency conducts educational programs, outreach initiatives, and public events to ignite curiosity and promote scientific literacy. Overall, NASA's mission is to push the boundaries of scientific knowledge, advance human understanding of the universe, and pioneer new technologies that benefit society on Earth and pave the way for future space exploration.
