Perseverance will use the ultraviolet and imaging cameras to hunt down a promising dig site somewhere inside the jezero crater, a 28-mile section of mars that was once an ancient river or lake. The space agency believes that a body of water, roughly the size of Lake Tahoe existed between 3 and 4 billion years ago. NASA hopes to find indications of ancient microbial life.
