Mars Rover Team to Celebrate Persevering Students

NASA wants to celebrate students who’ve persevered. From overcoming unexpected challenges and hurdles in getting the Perseverance rover to Mars, and executing operations on the surface, the rover team already knows quite a bit about what it means to persevere. The “You’ve Got Perseverance” opportunity encourages teachers, educators, and community leaders to nominate middle school students who demonstrate perseverance in their academic journey. Select students will get a special message directly from the Perseverance rover on Mars, and the chance to talk with rover team members from mission control at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The first opportunity to nominate opens on Dec. 9, 2021. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/gotperseverance Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
