About this work
This drill is a duplicate of the one aboard NASA's Perseverance Mars rover. It was used in a test campaign at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California to learn how crumbly rocks respond to the drill. A key objective for Perseverance's mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life.
