Some tests of the Mars 2020 vehicle, which NASA attaches great importance to the $ 2 billion budget, have problems. On July 17, 2020, the vehicle could not stand the temperature of the heat shield test phase, which is expected to set out for Mars and explore the presence of microbial life by drilling rocks on Mars.

NASA, on 17 July 2020 Mars 2020 will be sent to Mars with 19,550 thousand km speed and will be exposed to 3 thousand 800 degrees heat. For this reason, several tests were carried out on the vehicle during the past days. But the results of the tests made were not able to withstand the heat shield temperature of Mars 2020 and bend.

In the first evaluations made, it was announced that as the vehicle planned, on July 17, 2020, a more advanced shield would be produced by that time.

In addition to all this, if the car reaches Mars, it will make analyzes for human Mars missions.
