The rover has racked up a series of accomplishments, including new distance records, as it reaches the end of the first of several planned science campaigns on the Red Planet.
NASA’s Perseverance rover has notched up a slew of firsts since touching down on Mars one year ago, on Feb. 18, 2021, and the six-wheeled scientist has other important accomplishments in store as it speeds toward its new destination and a new science campaign.

NASA Eyes Electric Car Tech for Future Moon Rovers - Scientific American
Of the many “firsts” from NASA’s Apollo program of lunar exploration, one often overlooked is that the Apollo missions included the first—and so far only—times that humans have driven on another world.
Fast-forward to today, when NASA is once again aiming for astronauts on the moon: the space agency’s Artemis III mission is slated to ferry a crew to the vicinity of the lunar south pole as soon as 2025 . But this time an Apollo-like moon buggy will not suffice.
NASA opens Nighttime Precision Landing Challenge to help future moon missions | Space
NASA wants your help to safely land future lunar spacecraft in the dark, including permanently shadowed craters that may be icy.
The agency's new Nighttime Precision Landing Challenge No. 1 plans to award as many as three prizes of up to $650,000 each.
Registration is due May 5 and full applications are due May 19. The agency notes that this technology will assist with its goals of long-term lunar exploration.

How NASA plans to destroy the International Space Station, and the dangers involved
Finding Point Nemo will be the final stop in a complex and multi-staged mission to transition the operations of the ISS to new commercial space stations, and to bring the remaining structure safely down to Earth.
The ISS has enabled one giant leap for science and collaboration across mankind, involving five different space agencies (US, Russia, Europe, Canada and Japan).
NASA's InSight Mars lander bounces back from dust storm, but its days are numbered | Space
NASA's InSight Mars lander has shaken off the effects of a recent dust storm, likely allowing the spacecraft to collect science data for a few more months.
InSight went into a protective safe mode on Jan. 7, temporarily shutting down its instruments after a huge dust storm prevented the solar-powered lander from soaking up enough sunlight. The spacecraft emerged from safe mode on Jan. 19 , and things are now getting back to normal.
