Perseverance Project Scientist’s Conference Talk on Mars Sample Return. A key objective of Perseverance rover’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including caching samples that may contain signs of ancient microbial life. This talk was presented at the 10th International Conference on Mars at Caltech in Pasadena, California, on July 25, 2024, to a gathering of Mars scientists from a range of disciplines, institutions, and countries. Ken Farley, project scientist for NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover mission, shared information about a new discovery that is “the most puzzling, complex, and potentially important rock yet investigated by Perseverance.”
