If the Perseverance rover breaks down, two helicopters will load the samples into a rocket that will launch them toward Earth.

NASA will launch two more mini helicopters to Mars to return Martian rocks and soil samples to Earth. This was reported by ApNews.

The Perseverance rover will deliver a container of materials collected on Mars to a rocket that will launch them toward Earth in about ten years.

It is noted that the spacecraft has already collected 11 samples. The latest sample has the highest chance of containing possible evidence of Martian life.

The agency also emphasized that the helicopters will be modeled after the successful Ingenuity, which has made 29 flights since arriving on Mars with Perseverance last year. The weight of the helicopter is 1.8 kilograms. The new versions will have wheels and robotic arms.

It was previously reported that two private companies from the United States have joined forces to conduct a commercial mission to Mars.
