Many of these missions are still ongoing, but over the course of decades of Mars exploration, humanity has left behind many pieces of debris on the planet’s surface.
Where does debris come from?
The debris on the . comesto mars From three main sources, according to what the website says "sciencealert"the scientist who reviewed the reasons for the existence of waste on the surface of Mars.
- Every mission to the surface of Mars requires a protection unit equipped with a heat shield that protects the spacecraft, as well as a parachute and landing gear. During the landing process, the spacecraft loses pieces of that unit, and when these pieces hit the planet’s land, they break into small pieces.
- posefor spacecraft The nine inactive ones on Mars are the next type of debris.
- Crashed spacecraft and pieces are another important source of junk on Mars, where at least two spacecraft crashed, and four others lost contact before or just after landing.
The longer you go down safely to the surface planet It is the hardest part of any task landing on MarsAnd it doesn’t always end well.
The main concern for scientists about trash on Mars today is the risks it poses to current and future missions.
Follow-up teams are documenting the remains of debris they found and examining them to see if any of them could contaminate samples collected by Mars exploration missions.
And in June, the vehicle surprised "Perseverance" NASA affiliated scientists with a strange image of a bright object sandwiched between two rocks, captured on the surface of Mars.
Speculation was raised about the nature of this strange object, which appeared to be metallic, until the team "NASA" He concluded that it was a piece of debris discarded by the rover during its landing on Mars in February 2021.
In July, the same spacecraft spotted a strange tangled object on Mars, likely to be the remains of a component that was used in the process of landing the robotic rover on Mars in February 2021.
