About

A portion of a cored-rock sample is ejected from the rotary percussive drill on NASA's Perseverance Mars rover.

The Mastcam-Z investigation is led and operated by Arizona State University in Tempe, working in collaboration with Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego, California, on the design, fabrication, testing, and operation of the cameras, and in collaboration with the Neils Bohr Institute of the Univer — NASA JPL · 2022.
