KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. – NASA’s Mars rover Perseverance will have to wait another two days next month before it starts the months-long journey to the red planet.The rover is at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center where it’s preparing to launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in July on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.
However, this week NASA said they ran into an issue when trying to put the rover into the rocket nose cone, which is the reason for the new launch date.The launch was scheduled for July 20 but NASA announced Wednesday it was pushed to July 22.
