Come to the NEAG Planetarium at the Reading Public Museum on February 18, 2021 to watch NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover makes its final descent to the Red Planet. Space is limited and reservations are required.
Perseverance is the most sophisticated rover NASA has ever sent to Mars, with a name that embodies NASA’s passion for taking on and overcoming challenges. It will search for signs of ancient microbial life, Characterize the planet’s geology and climate; collect carefully selected and documented rock and sediment Samples for possible return to Earth, and pave the way for human exploration beyond the Moon. Perseverance will also ferry a separate technology experiment to the surface of Mars — a helicopter named Ingenuity, the first aircraft to fly in a controlled way on another planet.
