English: A faithful recreation of the
Jet Propulsion Laboratory's first insignia for the
Mars 2020 mission. The insignia is an outlined circle, with the Earth and Mars depicted in between the outline of a transfer orbit. The outline extends out to write two "2"s, with the planets combining with them to vertically spell out "2020". Mars also acts as the
Perseverance rover's SuperCam instrument, with its mast depicted behind the planet. The Mars 2020 mission is intended to be the successor to the
Mars Science Laboratory mission, which has operated the
Curiosity rover on Mars since its launch in 2011.
Perseverance will land in
Jezero crater to study the past environment of Mars using scientific instruments specialised in studying soil and materials on Jezero's delta, which once saw large flows of water pass through millions of years ago. Recreated in
Inkscape 0.92, based off imagery featured in JPL's
Mars 2020 store.
