NASA plea for help in getting Martian soil and rock samples back to Earth

US space agency NASA is calling on companies to come up with ideas for returning soil and rocks samples from Mars and to Earth.
The space agency’s Mars Sample Return mission requires the collection of samples gathered by the Perseverance rover for a return trip.
It had its own programme under development with a mission date set for 2040.
But now it wants proposals for a less complex mission that would lower costs using already available technology and bring back the samples years earlier.
NASA associate administrator Nicky Fox said the change was due to budget cutbacks for the agency.
Fox added: “We are looking at out-of-the-box possibilities that could return the samples earlier and at a lower cost.
OPS: The 24th Martian sample being collected by NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover taken from a region of Jezero Crater that is especially rich in carbonate, a mineral linked to habitability.
The rover used its abrasion bit to grind away the surface of the rock, cameras showed interesting and diverse textures.
It also spotted silica and carbonate, minerals that scientists know have the highest potential to preserve signs of ancient life on Earth.
Sceintists wonder if it might have preserved signs of ancient martian life

Members of NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover team watch in mission control as the first images arrive moments after the spacecraft successfully touched down on Mars, Thursday, Feb. 18, 2021, at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. A key objective for Perseverance’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet’s geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith.

NASA Mars helicopter becomes first aircraft to make a corntrolled flight on another planet

US space agency NASA’s Ingenuity Mars helicopter became the first aircraft in history to make a powered, controlled flight on another planet. The Ingenuity team at the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California confirmed the flight succeeded after receiving data from the helicopter via NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover at 6:46 a.m. US Eastern District Time.Acting NASA administrator Steve Jurczyk said: “Ingenuity is the latest in a long and storied tradition of NASA projects achieving a space exploration goal once thought impossible. “We don’t know exactly where Ingenuity will lead us, but today’s results indicate the sky – at least on Mars – may not be the limit.”The solar-powered helicopter first became airborne at 3:34 a.m. a time the Ingenuity team determined would have optimal energy and flight conditions. Altimeter data indicate Ingenuity climbed to its prescribed maximum altitude of 3 meters and maintained a stable hover for 30 seconds. It then descended, touching back down on the surface of Mars after logging a total of 39.1 seconds of flight.
OPS US space agency NASA’s Ingenuity Mars helicopter captured this shot as it hovered over the Martian surface on April 19, 2021, during the first instance of powered, controlled flight on another planet. It used its navigation camera, which autonomously tracks the ground during flight.
