Mars 2020 joined this tradition when it landed in February 2021. As with almost all missions these days, it is an international collaboration with contributions from France, Spain, and Norway. Its components, the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity aircraft, study martian geology to assess its past habitability and signs of ancient life.

With advancements in data mining and machine learning algorithms, machines (i.e., Artificial Intelligence -AI, synthetic teammates, automated agents, and robots) are poised to revolutionize work in almost every industry. Various examples indicate that AI-enabled machines are becoming nearly universally important to command and control missions. For instance, integrated wearable electronics with large-scale machine control can allow warfighters access to innumerable possible contingencies in critical situations, such as the “F-35 Joint Strike Fighter”—a fighter plane and flying sensor in one—which condenses vast amounts of data from the environment into visualizations in the pilot’s helmet (Pellerin, 2015). High-impact applications can also be found in healthcare and space exploration. For example, to protect healthcare workers from the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), robots have been deployed to help care for patients at hospitals in Italy (Romero, 2020) and team with health providers to deliver telehealth services in China (Hornyak, 2020). The extent to which machines can aid human endeavors over great geospatial and temporal distances is perhaps best exemplified by the Perseverance rover and other robots distributed on Mars (mars.nasa.gov, n.d.).

The Mars 2020 Rover Mission (M2020) is largely a build-to-print duplicate of the MSL Curiosity rover, with some key upgrades for improved operations, improved mobility, and sample acquisition and caching as shown in Figure 10. Mars 2020 Rover Perseverance succeeded in landing on Martian surface on 18 Feb. 2021.
