NASA is struggling with a problem with its Mars rover – “Perseverance” cannot use lasers. NASA wants to use the Perseverance rover to search for traces of life on Mars.
The rover will investigate what conditions used to exist on Mars - and whether there may once have been life there. NASA doesn't panic, but instead tries to find a solution to the problem. However, there is good news: If “perseverance has similar endurance, the rover will still have several years to explore Mars.
