NASA Chooses Landing Site For 2020 Mars Rover Mission

Description

Looks like it’ll be a journey to Jezero. NASA has chosen Jezero Crater as the landing site for its upcoming Mars 2020 rover mission. The decision came after an extensive five-year search, during which the mission team and the planetary science community scrutinized and debated every detail of more than 60 possible locations on Mars, according to NASA. “The landing site in Jezero Crater offers geologically rich terrain, with landforms reaching as far back as 3.6 billion years old, that could potentially answer important questions in planetary evolution and astrobiology,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate.
