Exploration of Mars has entered a new era. With the success of Perseverance and Curiosity, NASA is already planning the next steps in Martian exploration, including the ambitious Mars Sample Return mission.
Future missions aim to delve deeper into the Martian subsurface, looking for liquid water and potential biosignatures. The European Space Agency (ESA) is also preparing the Rosalind Franklin rover, which features a drill capable of reaching two meters below the surface, where organic material might be shielded from the harsh surface radiation.
