Perseverance Mars rover’s sample cache now 40% complete

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has dropped its fourth rock sample tube at a location in Jezero Crater, meaning its first backup sample depot is now 40% complete.

Perseverance, which landed on the Red Planet in February 2021, will stash 10 samples overall at the location called Three Forks, which is situated in an ancient river delta on the floor of the 28-mile-wide (45 kilometers) Jezero Crater.
