NASA and ESA,s Mars sample return mission
NASA is planning to bring back the first samples of Mars materials to Earth with the help of ESA (European space agency). This mission consist of three parts .
* The lander
* The mars ascent vehicle
* The Earth return orbiter
So how will this mission works?
using the drill on the end of the robotic arm of the perseverance rover, drilling the surface of mars and collecting pieces of mars into the sample tube and then transfer that sample tube into the inside of the rover and then seal them for storage. After a long time in 2026 the mars mission lander( with the mars ascent vehicle) lands near the perseverance rover , the rover moves to the lander and with the help of the robotic arm of the rover the samples will be transferred to the lander . Then the mars ascent vehicle lifts of from the lander( with the samples )and captures into mars orbit then the container ( where the samples is placed) will be ejected from the ascent vehicle and then be captured by the Earth return orbiter and then return will back to Earth.
it is simple in the paper but it is really very hard
it is currently testing at the JPL facility in California and may be delayed
