About this work

This image of the hole drilled by NASA's Perseverance rover during its first sample-collection attempt was imaged by one of the rover's navigation cameras. The photo was taken on August 6, 2021, in the "Crater Floor Fractured Rough" geologic unit in Mars' Jezero Crater. A key objective for Perseverance's mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life.
