NASA and United Launch Alliance have delayed blast-off for the Mars 2020 mission from July 22nd to \u201cno earlier than\u201d July 30th. Processing problems with the launch vehicle are to blame, NASA said. A liquid oxygen sensor line produced \u201coff-nominal data\u201d during a practice session, and the mission team will need extra time to evaluate what happened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The agency has more time to launch if the 30th doesn\u2019t work, at least. NASA had originally given itself until August 5th, but analysts have extended the window until August 15th and will determine if another extension is possible. The rover is expected to land in Mars\u2019 Jezero crater on February 18th, 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Due to processing delays in preparations to unite me with the rocket, my first launch attempt will be no earlier than July 30. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NASA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NASA<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ulalaunch?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ulalaunch<\/a> are working to update the target launch date and have been able to expand the launch period until Aug. 15. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cwfwy5cTY0\">https:\/\/t.co\/cwfwy5cTY0<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XICMjwtx7h\">pic.twitter.com\/XICMjwtx7h<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NASA&#39;s Perseverance Mars Rover (@NASAPersevere) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NASAPersevere\/status\/1278076794101329921?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 30, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This isn\u2019t the first delay.

NASA has been developing Perseverance and the Mars 2020 mission for years, and many pieces need to come together for the expedition to be a success. It\u2019s an important mission, too, as it could shed light on the possibility of past life on Mars, the planet\u2019s geological history and even the possibility of returning samples to Earth.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ll have to wait longer than you might like to see the Perseverance rover begin its journey to Mars.
