Perseverance Rover collecting waste in one place

On March 24, 2021 NASA’s Perseverance Rover send pics of collecting Mars Helicopter Ingenuity’s debris shield and Mars Sample Belly Pan in one place.

Rover currently goes to Helipad (helicopter deployment site). As we can see NASA takes huge care of Red Planet. Future missions on Mars will definitely be able to utilize all waste from previous rovers and safe Red Plane in clean conditions. There are also new images from Mars by Perseverance Rover.


Upcoming event is Helicopter Ingenuity deployment. The power system on the Mars 2020 spacecraft periodically charges Ingenuity’s batteries on the way there. The helicopter flies on its own, without human control. It must take off, fly, and land, with minimal commands from Earth sent in advance.
