Up and Soon, Away: Perseverance Continues Exploring the Upper Fan - NASA
After our exploration of a boulder field last week, Perseverance is continuing the Upper Fan campaign. We have driven to Echo Creek, from which we also have a view of Belva Crater.go.nasa.gov

Two years ago, I had just dropped off the #MarsHelicopter for its wild dream of a tech demo: flying on Mars. Now it has just notched its 50th flight. Talk about Ingenuity!

NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter Completes 50th Flight
The history-making rotorcraft has recently been negotiating some of the most hazardous terrain it’s encountered on the Red Planet.NASA Mars Exploration
Back to the grind! I’m #SamplingMars yet again, with the first rock core of my new science campaign exploring the top of Jezero Crater’s delta.
My coring drill is working well, and my team’s excited about what this rock may hold. Here’s why: go.nasa.gov/3JYkAwF

🎥 And…action! Check out my latest video of the #MarsHelicopter kicking up dust and taking off for Flight #47.
Ingenuity is well beyond its “warranty” at this point, but has been zipping along with me, keeping up for as long as it can as we move together uphill.
#PerseveranceRover
Some interesting tilted rock beds and flagstones just up ahead. Going to creep a bit closer and see if they’d make good science targets. (Truth be told, I could stare at rocks all day.) 🪨🤓

1️⃣ In satellite images, my team spied some interesting curved rock beds in this area, which may have come from a meandering river.
2️⃣ #MarsHelicopter flew over the area to scout it out.
3️⃣ Now I’m here doing science up close.
How’s that for teamwork?
#PerseveranceRover
Working my way uphill, I recently spotted the #MarsHelicopter again, up ahead. Can you believe it’s flown over 6 miles (10 km), in 46 flights? Not bad for a test vehicle that was shooting for one successful hover to start with! 🤯

Another tube drop makes eight out of 10!
Reminder: this set I’m dropping is a backup. Plan A: I deliver the samples I’m still carrying (and others still to come) directly to #MarsSampleReturn. But if I can’t, this set alone would be worth sending back. mars.nasa.gov/msr

Two Perseverance Sampling Locations in Jezero's Delta – NASA Mars Exploration
NASA’s Perseverance rover collected rock samples for possible return to Earth in the future from two locations seen in this image of Mars’ Jezero Crater: “Wildcat Ridge” (lower left) and “Skinner Ridge” (upper right).NASA Mars Exploration
🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴⚪⚪⚪
Sample Depot now 70% complete!
The rock core in this tube is from a fine-grained mudstone, formed in the ancient river delta nearby. It’s the kind of rock that could be good for preserving signs of ancient life (if life was ever present here). 🔍

Five down, five to go, as I lay down my backup set of 10 samples.
In this tube: a core sample from a rock that formed from magma, then was altered by water several times. It could help scientists understand the early history of this area, when life may have been present. 🔎🪨

✅Explore vast crater floor
✅Collect 18 samples
✅Examine ancient river delta
✅Start laying down samples for #MarsSampleReturn
Many adventures still ahead, so...onward!
