Nasa’s Rover has collected almost **6 samples last year.** #### Highlights ``` This NASA’s Rover Perseverance has six-wheel. ``` ``` This Rover Perseverance Weight is around 1,025 Kilograms. ``` ``` The Rover is busy in the collection of rocks samples to send it back to earth. ``` **Also Read-[NASA Releases a Magnificent Image of Two Quasars Combining](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1261/nasa-releases-a-magnificent-image-of-two-quasars-combining)** One year ago on the same day **18 February 2021,** NASA’s [Mars rover](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2198/long-awaited-salty-region-is-reached-by-nasa-s-curiosity-mars-rover) **[Perseverance](https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/)** touched the rocky surface of Mars and now after the successful completion of one year, it is **celebrating its successful life** and learning to run on its rocky surface. The **weight of the rover is 1,025 kg** and it has accomplished several milestones including new distance records. The rover is still making the challenges to collect some more samples of the soil of Mars and gain more speed for future [scientific](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/1571/surprising-scientific-facts-about-girls) collections. Rover will now move towards another side from **[jezero Carter](https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/mission/science/landing-site/)** which is said to be contained a lake of billions of years ago. Over the last year 2021, Rover has collected a total of six samples so far and it had also served as a base for the Ingenuity Helicopter. #### As per the NASA statement, the Rover has tested the prototype oxygen generator MOXIE on MARS. ![NASA](https://www.mindstick.com/usernews/641521/e48ef56b-5b86-425a-9c87-14d371464aa7/images/3591683a-46a2-43af-b21f-d29ac1a27e0a.jpeg)\ The rover Perseverance in the future will collect more samples and will send them back to the earth during a future crewed **[mission to the Red Planet](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94151/which-is-the-first-country-to-enter-mars-orbit-on-its-first-attempt)**. These samples will help the scientist to study primarily looking for signs of ancient life on Mars. The insights into the formation of Jezero Crater will be offered by the rover with the help of samples. A statement has been published by the NASA official in which it stated as “each one is carefully considered for its scientific value,” said **Thomas Zurbuchen**, an associate administrator of NASA’s science mission directorate in Washington. The rover has recorded a [historical](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/audio/1201/a-historical-journey-of-kedarnath-temple) [achievement](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/39297/who-has-been-honored-with-the-2018-ibrahim-prize-for-achievement-in-african-leadership) for **covering the largest distance of 245.76 meters** in the Mars Planet in a single **martian Day** or sol, no other rover has done so on the planet. Rover has a self-driving function which is said to be very helpful in the mission. The rover has also faced many challenges in its mission and one when its system was coked while transferring the samples to its storage in December however, NASA engineers were able to [solve the issue](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95724/how-do-i-solve-the-issue-of-a-site-adheres-to-adsense) and it started its functioning again. Now it will contain two more samples of soil in the coming week from **“Ch’al”** (named with the Navazo term for “frog”). After returning the samples to the earth, the scientist will be able to find out the age of the Jezero and the lake that was present there. **Also Read-[NASA Needs To be concerned About SpaceX's Plan to Launch 30,000 Satellites](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1389/nasa-needs-to-be-concerned-about-spacex-s-plan-to-launch-30-000-satellites)** --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/news/1437/nasa-s-rover-perseverance-completes-one-year-s-on-mars-here-are-top-rover-s-achievements Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
