The Perseverance rover was able to obtain rock and soil samples on Mars on its second attempt.
The chief engineer of the NASA project, Adam Steltsner, announced this on his Twitter.
“We've got samples! I have never been so happy to see a hole in the rock, ”he wrote.
The first attempt to take soil was made on August 7th. It ended in failure due to shear drilling.
