NASA’s Perseverance Mars 2020 Rover will begin its nearly seven-month journey to the red planet when it lifts off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket. Liftoff is currently scheduled during a two-hour window that opens at 11:50 UTC (7:50 AM EDT) on Thursday, 30 July.
A United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket will launch NASA’s Perseverance rover to Mars. The spacecraft will explore the Jezero Crater to study the planet’s habitability, seek signs of past microbial life, collect and store samples of selected rock and soil and prepare for future human missions.
The rover also carries the Ingenuity helicopter, a technology demonstration to prove that powered flight can be achieved at Mars.
The Perseverance launch will mark the 85th Atlas V mission since the inaugural launch in 2002 and the 7th in the 541 configuration.
