Mars rover: NASA's Perseverance manages to drill second rock sample on Mars

-

 


The US space agency's vehicle on the  Mars, Surveillance, is expected to be able to lift a rock after drilling on the surface of Mars in its second attempt. This stone will now be brought back to earth

Images from Mars show that the rock was apparently drilled cleanly and that the piece is safe in a spacecraft to be sent to Earth.

One such attempt failed last month when a piece of rock obtained from drilling could not be preserved due to turning into powder.

If successful in his second attempt to get a sample of a rock from Mars, it would be the first time that a piece of rock had been obtained from another planet to bring it back to Earth.

The purpose of the space shuttle surveillance on Mars is to obtain more than two dozen samples over the next year that will be returned to Earth in a joint effort by the United States and Europe later this decade.

Perseverance landed on Mars in February this year on a 45-kilometer-wide crater called Jezero. The pit is thought to have been a lake billions of years ago. Because of this history, experts believe that if life on Mars ever existed in a very basic form, then there must be traces of it in Jezero.

Sovereignty has covered a distance of about two kilometers since landing on Mars. This is where Perseverance tried its latest drilling.


The robot has a system through which it will cut a piece of stone the size of a finger and close it in a cylindrical tube.

The rover will also take pictures of the cylinder before closing it. A similar drilling experiment failed in early August, when scientists discovered that there was nothing in the tube and that the robot had turned the stone into powder and that it was the location of the drilling site. At the same time, it has fallen somewhere.

However, the team was encouraged when they received pictures from the paramedics in which it was clear on Thursday that part of the rock was at the top of the tube.

The model will be fully tested by the rover.


The drone was sent to Mars to show technological innovation on Mars, but now it can see the path ahead of the rover.


So far, Ingenity has flown 12 flights.

An art graduate whose creative power was no less than that of a scientist Ibn Safi holds a unique place among Urdu writers. In the beginning, the critics of literature did not consider him worthy of attention, but then all became captives of his pen. Ibn Safi's pen journey spans 28 years . During this journey, he created about two and a half hundred novels which were published under the name of Jasusy Dunia (Detective World) and Imran Series. In January 1952, the world's first detective novel, Dalair Mujram(The Brave Criminal) , was published, and in August 1955, the first novel in the Imran series, Khaofnak Amarat (The Terrible Building), was published. This continued until his death. In these novels, he invented a new world in which crime was eliminated with the help of new methods and inventions. Irfan Javed , a well-known author on science fiction, writes in his book Ajaib Khana'(Museum )' that 'surprisingly many novels and fictions in the West have led to sci...

  The motives of the military operation on Lal Masjid in Islamabad and the vague facts related to it Thirteen years have passed since the military operation on the Lal Masjid in Islamabad in 2007, but even today the issue is not fully resolved. Even nowadays the smoke sometimes erupts, which can be a precursor to a major accident at any time. Various reasons are given for this operation. Some people speak in favor of the operation, while others complain of resolving the issue without any disciplinary action. What were the motives for this military operation? To make the capital 'free from obscenity' In May and June 2007, students from various madrassas run by the Lal Masjid administration were active in promoting Islam, establishing an Islamic system in the country and "cleansing" the federal capital. They would sometimes set fire to CDs in video and CD shops and sometimes break into massage centers in different sectors of the city without permission, not only torturi...

Will celebrate One has to go back 50 years to know the significance of this history, when on December 6, 1971, India recognized Bangladesh as an independent country when it was the eastern part of Pakistan. Just ten days later, Lieutenant General Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi, commander of the Pakistan Army in East Pakistan, signed a surrender document with Indian Army Lieutenant General Jagjit Singh Arora and conceded defeat. Emerged as a state on the world map. It would not be wrong to say that Bangladesh has the closest ties with India among the South Asian countries. At th...
