NASA BLASTS OFF MOST SOPHISTICATED MARS MISSION IN HUMAN HISTORY

Perseverance, NASA’s fifth Mars rover, will spend the next seven months speeding hundreds of millions of miles toward Mars. Landing at the Jezero Crater, a suspected ancient dried up lake, is scheduled for February 18, 2021. The rover will then, if everything goes according to plan, deploy its experimental helicopter roughly two months later.

This is paving the way for sending people to Mars. They will be testing for the ability to create oxygen from the atmosphere.

Might be interesting to follow.

But that's not the purpose of the mission. The purpose is to find evidence of past life on the planet.

The Perseverance rover will scour a dried-out crater lake where scientists believe ancient life-forms could have left their marks in the rocks.
