Facts: What will living on Mars be like, What missions have been on Mars, Perseverance Rover
You can live on Mars for a while if you have enough equipment but if you go up there with nothing you will immediately die because there is no air, they have dangerous sand storms, and a very thin atmosphere.
Some of the rovers that have been sent to Mars are:
Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover.
Curiosity Rover.
InSight Lander.
MAVEN.
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
2001 Mars Odyssey.
Those were some of the missions that have been on Mars and 49 missions have been successful.
Main job of the Perseverance Rover is to seek signs of ancient life and collect samples of rock and regolith (broken rock and soil) for possible return to Earth.
There will be a rover and a return launcher launched to mars, the rover will collect samples and then send them back to earth to be tested like the moon rocks from Apollo missions. They call this the Mars Sample Return rover that will launch in 2026.
