By Skylar McCarthy WikiImages/Pixabay On February 18, the Mars Perseverance rover landed in the Jezero Crater. However, this isn’t the first time we put a rover on Mars. The Curiosity rover was the first one back in 2012, but cameras at that point never showed the rover land. But there are also Canadians who are also helping with the project. Tim Haltigin is a Senior Mission Scientist at the Canadian Space Agency. He’s helping lead the team that’s planning the science program for the overall Mars sample return campaign. He says Canadians from all aspects are working on the project.
