Abstract

Last month, three robotic missions launched from different countries reached Mars, including the first successful missions sent by China and the United Arab Emirates. Along with Tianwen-1 and Hope, NASA sent a rover to Mars named Perseverance, which will soon deploy a helicopter named Ingenuity. To celebrate these arrivals, the staff of the William M. Staerkel Planetarium at Parkland College offered a series of virtual programs and videos that are still available to the public.
