As part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Mars Exploration Program, the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter, which will collect rock and sediment samples on the Red Planet and search for signs of ancient microscopic life, are faced with interesting findings.
NASA: “A mysterious string of strings on Mars fell from the Perseverance rover”
The Perseverance rover, which continues its mission to Mars, came across an interesting finding during its mission in the past weeks. While NASA was exploring an area the rover had never been to before, Dacron discovered a bundle of ropes that he described as a web. First, it was decided that this was not a natural occurrence.
The image was captured by Perseverance’s left front camera as it performed its mission in Jezero Crater. NASA argued that the rope was knotted and unnatural. Of course, after that, many conspiracy theories were produced. Another reason why conspiracy theories are produced is that the traveler has never been to the region where the rope is located.
However, NASA solved the mystery of the knot as a result of the investigations. The scientists described the knot as “a piece of mesh used in thermal blankets specifically designed to protect the Perseverance rover from extreme temperatures and varying weather conditions.” So much so that the previous interesting discovery strengthens this possibility.
The Perseverance rover has found trash on the surface of Mars in recent months. NASA’s Mars team stated that the debris was closely examined in a post on Twitter. In a short time, the fate of the incident became clear. The litter turned out to be a piece of thermal blanket wrapped around NASA’s Perseverance spacecraft to protect it from extreme weather changes as it lands on Mars.
