美宇航局选定2020火星探测器着陆点
NASA has chosen Jezero Crater as the landing site for its Mars 2020 rover mission scheduled to launch in July next year.
美国宇航局已选定耶泽洛陨石坑为2020年火星探测车的降落地点，此次任务计划于明年七月份发射。
According to NASA, the rover will seek signs of ancient habitable conditions and past microbial life, and also collect rock and soil samples to store in a cache on the planet's surface.
On ancient Mars, water carved channels and transported sediments to form fans and deltas within lake basins. "Examination of spectral data acquired from orbit show that some of these sediments have minerals that indicate chemical alteration by water," NASA said on its website.
