Mars Perseverance Mission

Hi guys today in science we are doing some more research on the mission going to Mars. We have to answer some questions so here they are.

The rocket Perseverance used to get into space is called Alliance Atlas V.
The two vehicles that are being taken to Mars is The Rover Perseverance and the other is called Ingenuity which is a mini helicopter which is kind of a drone. The Rover has wheels and it drives around, it will take pictures and take samples from Mars and sending it to earth. The helicopter is not like the Rover because the helicopter has propellers and it will travel around Mars and its similar to a drone. The mission plans is to have the Rover land in the Jezero Crater which used to be a lake 3.5 billion years ago. The Rover is looking for past Martian Life in the Jezero Crater and getting some samples. How the Rover will land without being damaged is that they can use a parachute so it wont be damaged, and also there is a crane that will lower it down slowly so it wont be damaged.
