NASA releases details of new rover for Mars exploration

We could soon explore Mars like never before.

NASA scientists have released new capabilities of the new mars 2020 rover.

Like its predecessor, the new rover will have six wheels and weigh about a ton. However, unlike Curiosity, the new rover features new science instruments and enhancements capable of exploring the planet like never before.

It will be the first craft that will be able to record sounds from the red planet.

It will also have power that can last up to ten years and features several cameras – including one that can make 3-d maps.

The rover will look for signs of life on mars…

It’s expected to land on the red planet in early 2021 after its launch in the summer of 2020.
