Introduction
Hello and today I will be talking about the perseverance mission to mars, I hope you enjoy it :)
What Rocket Did The Perseverance Use to Get Into Space?
An Atlas V Rocket. They sent it to Mars at 7:50am 30th of july 2020 it blasted off from the Kennedy Space center. It cost about 2.4 Billion dollars and its speed is 11,024 mi/h.
The 2 vehicles that were being taken to Mars
The two vehicles that are being taken to mars were The Perseverance Rover and the Mars Helicopter. The Mars Helicopter is a Robotic Helicopter.
What are they looking for?
They are looking for the Jezero Crater a acient crater lake sighting obviously on Mars. The coordinates are 18.38°N 77.58°E in the Syrtis major quadrangle and was once flooded by water. So what I'm saying is that they're looking for water on Mars.
How are they planning to make the vehicles land without being damaged?
They sent a parachute to space and tested if it worked. They will use a parachute on the vehicles simply to make them land safetly. Like a little rocket ship. This will increase the damage held to the vehicle so it won't break and they will get their data.
Conclusion
Thank you for reading this. I hope you learned something! Have a good day or night bye!
