“Jezero Crater was selected for this mission because it fulfills several key goals and allows us to explore an ancient habitable environment,” said Ken Farley, Perseverance project scientist at Caltech.
Jezero Crater is 28 miles (45 kilometers) wide and formed about 3.5 billion years ago at the confluence of Martian rivers and lakes. “Perseverance” has collected 12 samples of sedimentary rocks and igneous rocks here.
