Ubu hashize ibyumweru bibiri kuva iki kinyabiziga gipima toni imwe kimanukiye kuri Mars mu buryo budasanzwe.

Ba enjeniyeri bamaze igihe bagiha amabwiriza n'ibice byacyo by'urusobe, harimo ibikoresho byacyo ndetse n'akaboko kacyo gakora mu buryo bwa 'robot'.

Ariko, hari hategerejwe ko ikinyabiziga Perseverance gitangira kugenda. Ibyo byabaye ku wa kane, kigenda ahantu hato, gisubira inyuma gato.

Enjeniyeri Anais Zarifian ushinzwe imigendere y'iki kinyabiziga, yagize ati: "Ushobora kubona aho twanyuze kuri Mars; sintekereza ko hari ikindi gihe na kimwe nigeze nishimira cyane kubona aho imitende yanyuze".

Ibi bizasaba ko kigenda intera ya 15km mu mwaka wo ku mubumbe wa Mars (ni ukuvuga hafi imyaka ibiri yo ku isi).

Abahanga muri siyansi barashaka kugera ku mabuye ateye amatsiko ari muri koma ya Mars ashobora kuba abitse amakuru y'ibyo ibinyabuzima byahakoreye kera.
