NASA's Perseverance rover is tackling a steep new challenge on Mars.
The six-wheeled rover has spent the last 3 1/2 years roaming around the bottom of a crater. On Tuesday, it began climbing to the top.
The rover will go up 1,000 feet (305 meters) to the rim of Jezero Crater to dig up rock samples. Since landing on the red planet in 2021, Perseverance has collected 22 rock core samples from the floor of the crater, which was once filled with water.

NASA's Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3) has initiated deployment operations for its innovative solar sail. However, during the initial attempt to unfurl the sail, the process was paused when an onboard power monitor detected higher-than-expected motor currents.

On September 8, 2024, the first of the four Cluster satellites, known as Salsa, will reenter Earth's atmosphere in an uncontrolled "targeted reentry" over a remote area in the South Pacific Ocean. This event marks a significant moment in reentry observation as scientists seek to gather valuable data on satellite disintegration.
