Cover of Winter 2021 issue of Science at MIT, Red rover: Mission to Mars: Color has been added to highlight minerals in this image of Jezero Crater on Mars, the landing site for NASA’s Mars 2020 mission. The green color represents minerals called carbonates, which are especially good at preserving fossilized life on Earth. On NASA’s Mars 2020 mission, EAPS Professor Tanja Bosak is the co-leader of a team of 14 Returned Sample scientists from the United States, Canada, and Europe.
