NASA s Perseverance Rover, the final fleat in the Mars exploration is set to land the red planet in 22 days. It will be stationed at the Jezero Crater to search for any possible signs of life that may have existed in the planet during the ancient times.
It is expected that once the spacecraft touches Mars surface, a seven-minute duration of utter uncertainty happens. Scientists call it The Seven minutes of terror.

As Space.com reports, the Perserverance Rover has been the most advanced rover and the largest that NASA has ever built. It will land on Mars as a robot that collects samples of rocks and dirts for analysis of any signs of life. It is set to return back to the Earth by 2030.
