Here is a notice from the SETI Institute for its webinar titled " Perseverance:
A Martian Rover to Find Life?" on Wednesday August 19, 2020. I attended one of
its webinar and it was very interesting. To attend you must register ahead of
time.

SETI Institute presents:
Perseverance: A Martian Rover to Find Life?
Wednesday, August 19, 2020
7:00 PM PDT

The Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover successfully launched on July 30, 2020, is now
en route toward Mars. The mission will pave the way for future human
expeditions to Mars and demonstrates technologies that could be used by future
Mars explorers.
Designed to search for signs of ancient microbial life, the robotic rover is
equipped with an instrument that will drill to collect core samples of Martian
rock and soil and then store them in sealed tubes for pick-up by a future
mission. The Mars 2020 rover will include innovative technologies to explore
the Jezero crater region, such as a Mars Helicopter that will become the first
powered flight craft on the Red Planet and a sample caching system.
In anticipation of its landing, scheduled for Feb 18, 2021, we invited two SETI
Institute researchers to discuss the potential of the mission to find evidence
of microbial life and employ new techniques to explore Mars. Chemist and
planetary scientist Janice Bishop studies spectral fingerprints of minerals and
Mars analogs on Earth and is a member of the CRISM orbital spectroscopy team.
Physicist and planetary scientist Pablo Sobron develops spectroscopic
instruments for planetary exploration and is a member of the Mars 2020 Science
Team. They will tell us how Perseverance will search for traces of past or
present microbial life in chemical, mineralogical, or textural fingerprints.
Perseverance is the first step towards investigating biology, not just
chemistry on Mars through sample return. This talk will describe why Jezero
Crater was selected for this mission, the types of investigations to be
performed and what they expect the mission to discover.
This special SETI Talks will be online only, please make sure to register for
access to this event.
