china wants to put a lander on its surface carrying a rover equipped with 6 scientific instruments. and then there's nasa says mars 2020 mission that's the one that daniel it and nicole schmitz of the german aerospace center in berlin are most interested in right now. the perseverance rover is set to land at just 0 crater which is a very exciting place if you look there are lots of craters on mars but this one is very special because there is a river delta on its florida say it shows that blowing water entered a body of stillwater and deposited sediment there it's proof that there was once a lake in the greater is and where there was water there may have been life. the plan is that the rover will explore the area because schmitz is part of a team developing a very advanced camera system mounted on the rovers mast it will film the neighborhood in color and 3 d. . it's so powerful it could make out a fly at the end of a football pitch its job of being to look out for traces of ancient life. substance we're looking for substance says or textures or patterns the only image while life is

the spacecraft itself, the perseverance rover, looks like the curiosity rover which has been workinginstruments, specifically looking for chemical evidence of past life on mars, but it also has a really strong eye to the future, carrying experiments on board that might look at the way we could live on mars perhaps in a decade or two, and most especially and perhaps most astonishing of all, it carries on board a helicopter, the very first time that we have tried to fly an autonomous helicopter on another world. it has the name of ingenuity and that really speaks of what has gone into inventing this machine. tell us about the helicopter. when it gets to mars, what will that do? it is basically a technology demonstrator, the idea is to prove that you can fly autonomous vehicles on mars, so it doesn't carry any scientific instruments. but what it does have is a camera. it will allow the mission scientists to have a look ahead of where the rover is travelling, to look for obstacles like boulders that might be over the top of a hill or something of that sort. and to make sure that the pers

rover mission to mars what is different this time. firstly this is an amazing river thames the instrumentation it's got really new sets of instruments to really look at the landscape in crates and analyze the chemistry but the key difference and the key difference to the previous rabbit curiosity is that this rover is going to drill holes into the martian surface into the martian rocks collect coal this place them in titanium chew and leave them on the surface of mars for a future mission to collect them and bring them back to earth unless scientists most geologists would like to analyze the samples moss rocks in trees we can do a lot on mars with rogue us but we can't do that really technical stuff that we can do enough of our trees yet i understand the earliest will get those mars samples would be the year 2031 so we've got a decade or 2 away i want to talk about what your team is doing and you'll be evaluating prison mere inches camera photos what is so interesting in the crater where the rover is supposed to land so it's been pick
