Tomorrow, on February 18, NASA will land its
Mars 2020 Perseverance rover on Mars in Jezero Crater (Western Isidis Planitia). Its mission is to collect samples for later retrieval and it is accompanied by a small reconnaissance drone-helicopter
Ingenuity - the first such craft on Mars. We will be able to watch NASA's broadcast of the landing
here (starting on 19:15 UTC).
