NASA\u2019s Perseverance rover collects the first sample of Martian rock, a core from Jezero Crater slightly thicker than a pencil. Mission controllers at NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California received data that confirmed the historic milestone on September 6, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NASA, The sample is now enclosed in an airtight titanium\u00a0sample tube<\/a>, making it available for retrieval in the future. Through the Mars Sample Return campaign, NASA and European Space Agency (ESA) are planning a series of future missions to return the rover\u2019s sample tubes to Earth for closer study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNASA has a history of setting ambitious goals and then accomplishing them, reflecting our nation\u2019s commitment to discovery and innovation,\u201d said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. \u201cThis is a momentous achievement and I can\u2019t wait to see the incredible discoveries produced by Perseverance and our team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These samples would be the first set of scientifically identified and selected materials returned to our planet from another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
