Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is the most recent rover that NASA has sent to Mars?"
...NASA’s Perseverance rover is the most recent rover to land on Mars, touching down in February 2021 as part of the Mars 2020 mission. Designed to search for signs of ancient microbial life, Perseverance carries advanced instruments, including ground-penetrating radar and a sample-collecting drill intended to gather Martian rock cores for future return to Earth. The mission also deployed Ingenuity, the first aircraft ever to make powered, controlled flights on another planet, marking a historic leap forward in extraterrestrial exploration.
