Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Mars, as a red planet and is said to be very hot, but is often referred to as an alternative if Earth is no longer habitable. Exploration to Mars has become one of the most frequent, including Elon Musk’s.

The debris is a thermal material that the space agency uses to protect the Perseverance spacecraft from extreme temperatures as it travels to Mars and falls through the Martian atmosphere.
“My team has seen something unexpected: This is part of the thermal blanket, the rocket-powered jet pack that dropped me on landing day in 2021,” tweet NASA from rover Perseverance on Wednesday (15/6/2022).
A looming question is how the debris looks like foil could exist in the Jezero Crater region of Mars. In fact, it is about two kilometers (1.2 miles) from where the landing gear crashed in the Martian desert.
The Perseverance rover previously landed on Mars in February 2021. On its descent, the spacecraft carrying the rover dumped various instruments and objects, including a heat shield, supersonic parachute, and a rocket-powered sky crane that lowered the rover to the ground. So it shouldn’t be too surprising if the explorer stumbles across a lot of debris this time around.
