NASA’s Percy Rover is about to mark a new journey. Taking a month long, the rover is about to ascend up the rim of the Jezero Crater.
The exploration of the Jerzo crater took about two and a half years. On August 19, NASA expects the rover to start ascending up the western rim of the Jezero Crater. The rover will rely on auto-navigation systems, while coming across slopes of up to 23 degrees.
Once it reaches the top, NASA says the rover will have gained 1,000 feet in elevation.
