PASADENA, Calif., July 9 (UPI) -- A rover NASA will send to Mars in 2020 should demonstrate technology for future human exploration of the Red Planet, the agency said in a report Tuesday.
The report by the Mars 2020 Science Definition Team, which NASA appointed in January to outline scientific objectives for the mission, said the rover would be designed to look for signs of past life and collect samples for possible future return to Earth.
