The robot lays down a variety of rock and environmental specimens for potential return to Earth.
It's a location thought to have held a lake billions of years ago.This is a structure created from the silt and sand dumped by a river as it slows on entry into a wider body of water.Perseverance has drilled a mix of volcanic and sedimentary rocks that should tell the story of the crater and the lake it once held. Examples of those rocks are now in the depot on a flat piece of terrain dubbed "Three Forks".
Should the nightmare happen and Perseverance dies, the fetch mission will be directed straight to Three Forks. The rover is about to drive up on to the top of the delta, accompanied by its scout drone. This mini-helicopter, named Ingenuity, has already begun the climb. Perseverance is going to investigate what appears to be evidence of flood activity, judging from the large size of some of the boulders scattered across the top of the delta.
The robot will then move to the edge of the crater where satellite imagery indicates there are carbonate-type sedimentary rocks. These again will be a good place to look for traces of ancient biology.
