Answers
Answer:
1.Data from an experiment is a primary source. For example, articles and books in which authors interpret data from another research team's experiment or archival footage of an event are usually considered secondary sources. Tertiary sources are one further step removed from that.
2.The Perseverance rover's astrobiology mission is to seek out signs of past microscopic life on Mars, explore the diverse geology of its landing site, Jezero Crater, and demonstrate key technologies that will help us prepare for future robotic and human exploration.
3.Perseverance is a NASA Mars rover that will land on 18 February 2021. The rover will search for past life on Mars and collect soil and rock samples for future return to Earth.
4.One of the most complex maneuvers in Perseverance's journey will be what mission engineers call the “seven minutes of terror,” when the robot endures extreme heat and speeds during its descent through the Martian atmosphere, deploying a set of supersonic parachutes before igniting mini rocket engines to gently touch
5.The President laid out a vision that places a premium on many of the principles and objectives reflected in the 2030 Agenda, including: broad-based economic growth; democratic governance; game-changing innovations; leveraging international partnerships and the vast array of development financing; and building
