20230131_zia_c218_034 January 31, 2023, United States: This image shows: The Perseverance roverâ??s WATSON camera took this image of the 10th and last tube to be deployed during the creation of the first sample depot on another world, on Jan. 28, 2023, the 690th Martian day, or sol, of the mission...NASAâ??s Perseverance Mars rover has successfully competed the construction of the first sample depot on another world in under six weeks. Confirmation that NASAâ??s Perseverance Mars rover successfully dropped the 10th and final tube planned for the depot was received around 5 p.m. PST (8 p.m. EST) Sunday, Jan. 29, by mission controllers at the agencyâ??s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. This major milestone involved precision planning and navigation to ensure the tubes could be safely recovered in the future by the NASA-ESA (European Space Agency) Mars Sample Return campaign, which aims to bring Mars samples to Earth for closer study..Throughout its science campaigns, the rover has been taking a pair of samples from rocks the mission team deems scientifically significant. One sample from each pair taken so far now sits in the carefully arranged depot in the â??Three Forksâ? region of Jezero Crater. The depot samples will serve as a backup set while the other half remain inside Perseverance, which would be the primary means to convey samples to a Sample Retrieval Lander as part of the campaign..Mission scientists believe the igneous and sedimentary rock cores provide an excellent cross section of the geologic processes that took place in Jezero shortly after the craterâ??s formation almost 4 billion years ago. The rover also deposited an atmospheric sample and whatâ??s called a â??witnessâ? tube, which is used to determine if samples being collected might be contaminated with materials that traveled with the rover from Earth..The titanium tubes were deposited on the surface in an intricate zigza (Credit Image: © Cover Images v
