WTHR — The Perseverance rover landed in the Jezero Crater in February 2021 to explore the ancient Neretva Vallis River Valley. Last summer, it drilled the Sapphire Canyon sample from a rock called Cheyava Falls. Scientists believe the leopard spots found on it may have been made by ancient life, NASA said. The SuperCam is just one of seven instruments on Perseverance. EAPS's Roger Wiens can operate it from online software right in his Purdue office.
