With this capability, the robotic astrobiologist can provide a detailed examination of both close and distant objects, NASA states in press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to NASA , the cameras will help scientists assess the geologic history and atmospheric conditions of Jezero Crater and will assist in identifying rocks and sediment worthy of a closer look by the rover\u2019s other instruments. The cameras also will help the mission team determine which rocks the rover should sample and collect for eventual return to Earth in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re nestled right in a sweet spot, where you can see different features similar in many ways to features found by Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity at their landing sites,\u201d said Jim Bell of Arizona State University\u2019s School of Earth and Space Exploration, the instrument\u2019s principal investigator.
