NASA is about to make a big decision in hunting down the planet Mars

The important mission hunts down the trail of life and why Mars is being debated by scientists at NASA. To accomplish this, scientists are looking for new areas to reach on the red planet.

NASA is currently urged by the National Academy of Sciences to seek life beyond Earth. 300 scientists from around the world will also continue to present new points related to this issue at the Mars 2020 conference in Los Angeles.

'The location determined to use the means of exploration in the near future will probably establish a new phase of Mars exploration in the next decade , ' said Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA's representative.

NASA is preparing a big plan for finding life on the red planet.

Previously, a series of new exploration sites on Mars have been released by scientists since 2014. Notably, the list of locations falls into about 30 pages. However, at present, the list is reduced to four notable positions. Later this year, scientists will officially identify the landing sites of the probe.

The Mars 2020 probe is expected to officially launch with the support of an Atlas V rocket in July 2020 and is expected to touch Mars in February 2021.

It is very important to select NASA for the next location on the surface of the red planet to continue the mission of finding life on the planet because during the past time, NASA's self-driving autonomous vehicles across the planet There are still not many remarkable achievements.

NASA is also under pressure from many agencies to boost the mission of finding extraterrestrial life. Most recently, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) called on NASA to make more searches for extraterrestrial life. Not only that, the agency also called on NASA to develop more technologies capable of detecting extraterrestrial life.

NASA's Curiosity Rover autonomous vehicle has been continuously operating over time on Mars.

Currently, NASA is still on a mission to search for life and analyze indicators on the red planet with the Curiosity Rover autonomous vehicle. The launched Curiosity Rover self-propelled vehicle began in November 2011 and officially landed on the surface of this red planet on August 6, 2012.

Curiosity has the main task of studying climate, searching for life, searching for ice and water and acting as a planet scout to determine if Mars may have had a life existence. So far, this nearly 2.8 meter wide machine has explored many locations on Mars's surface and sent a lot of information.

Most recently, NASA is also planning to use small-sized robots called Marsbees to explore Mars in the future. The project is being developed by a team from the University of Alabama, USA, with scientists from Japan.
