NASA Mars News to Bring Mars Sample Tubes Safely to Earth

At NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Perseverance Mars rover is currently in the process of collecting rocky material on Mars and filling sample tubes.

This is part of NASA's efforts to safely bring these samples back to Earth as part of the Mars Sample Return campaign. The campaign is a collaborative endeavour involving international partners, such as the European Space Agency (ESA), and aims to enable a detailed study of the collected samples.

One of the main questions that these samples could help answer is whether life ever existed on Mars. To ensure the secure return of the sample tubes, Aaron Yazzie and his team are diligently working at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
