On February 18th 2021, NASA will land its latest rover to the Red Planet. This $2.46 billion mission will arrive at Jezero Crater, a location on Mars that we believe is 3.81 billion years old. In this presentation, Dr Adrian Brown will discuss the cool aspects of this mission that make it the most exciting Mars mission yet. He will specifically discuss:
The Mars2020 rover will collect a suite of samples that will be extensively catalogued and cached for a period on the surface of Mars. These samples will eventually be returned to Earth by the Mars Sample Return mission, which is currently slated for launch in 2026 and samples will return in 2031.
Dr Adrian Brown will talk about what we expect to learn from the returned samples and how his work in Australia on 3.5 billion year old rocks has helped NASA to prepare for the first intentional return of Martian rocks to Earth.
Following his presentation, Dr Adrian will be available for live Q&A!
