Construction of Mars 2020

Under construction right now, Mars 2020 will be different than Curiosity, the Mars rover that landed in 2012. Although Curiosity has been a great success, far exceeding it’s planned 3 year mission, Mars 2020 will improve and add on it’s predecessors design. Differences include:

  • redesign of wheels (larger, thicker)
  • can sample cache specimens for future retrieval to Earth
  • Software upgrade to give rover more independence in driving and daily maintenance
  • more cameras to document the descent and landing
  • added microphones will give first audio from Mars
  • first helicopter on Mars, built for thin martian atmosphere
  • moxie: lab that tests making Oxygen on Mars
