NASA Perseverance Mars Rover Lost Pet Rock After More Than A Year latest image revealed

NASA’s Perseverance Rover has been traveling on the surface of Mars for almost 2 years. In its journey, this rover has captured and sent many amazing photographs of Mars, and apart from this it has also collected many important information from there. A piece of rock was also present with the rover, with which it was on its journey for the last one year. But now news has been received that the rover has now lost that stone. The team monitoring the rover’s camera has given this information.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover has reportedly lost the stone with which it was roaming for the last one year. Doctor Gweneil Caravaca, in charge of the SuperCam installed on the rover, has said that the recent picture sent by the rover shows that it has lost its ‘companion’ stone. “Perseverance dug up its stone friend,” Caravaca said in a tweet.

This stone was first seen in February 2022. It was maintaining its place in the left wheel of the rover. It remained on the rover for a long time. Although the Perseverance Rover has to collect 30 rock samples from the surface of Mars, apart from this it will also bring soil samples from there. It is expected that in 2030 it will return to Earth with these samples and then their lab testing will begin.

It is said about this NASA rover that it is the size of an SUV. Its weight is around 1 ton. The rover has a 7 feet long robotic arm. It has 19 cameras, 2 microphones and many other tools which will be useful in its journey.
