The Perseverance rover has found strange things on Mars several times.
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA — The Perseverance rover belonging to the US Space Agency (NASA) has found a mysterious string-like object that is confusing. The object is located in an area unknown to NASA.
BGR, reporting from Sunday (7/24/2022) NASA thinks the rope may have come off the persistence landing. Perseverance finds a mysterious rope in an unexplored part of Jizzaro Crater.
The strap is visible in an image taken by the rover’s front left Hazard Avoidance Camera. This camera helps Perseverance navigate the Martian landscape.
What is the mysterious rope found on Mars, NASA cannot tell exactly. However, the Perseverance team thought it was probably just debris from the rover’s landing.
Perseverance uses rocket-powered jetpack technology to land safely on Mars. As a result, there were no harmful effects when the team carried the rover to Jezero Crater.
The mysterious rope was discovered by Perseverance. What made it so interesting was that that part of the crater had never been firm before. NASA believes that the wind can carry the rope to its current location. Because, on returning to the place of persistence after four days, the object was lost.
Finding Trash on Mars
Throughout its time on the surface of Mars, Perseverance has made many discoveries. But the rover has found more garbage on Mars than this mysterious rope. Perseverance found a shiny piece of tinfoil in mid-June.
According to NASA, the foil is likely left over from a thermal blanket that helps regulate the rover’s temperature during flight.
