NASA unveils faster, cost-effective plan for Mars rock and soil sample return

Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • NASA has proposed a new strategy to bring back rocks and soil samples from Mars that is both quicker and more cost-effective.
  • The new plan was introduced to address the original mission's ballooned cost of $11 billion and to expedite sample return around 2030.
  • NASA is evaluating two revised options for the Mars sample return mission, each estimated to cost about $7 billion.
  • One approach will use the traditional landing method, while the other may involve a system developed by private companies.
  • Since landing on Mars in February 2021, the Perseverance Rover has collected significant samples that scientists hope to analyze further on Earth.
