I-NASA iHubble Space Telescope yafota uMars ngoJulayi 18, kufutshane nendlela yayo ekufutshane eMhlabeni ukusukela ngo-2003.I-NASA Izazinzulu sele ziyazi ukuba iMars ibingasoloko iyintlango yehlabathi namhlanje. Ngoku, idatha entsha eqokelelwe yi-NASA's Curiosity Rover ityhila ukuba i-Red Planet eneneni ibinomphezulu ongaphezulu kokudlulileyo kunangaphambili. A ukufunda epapashwe kwijenali yesayensi Indalo ebutsheni balenyanga yalatha kubungqina beemilafloods ezitshisayo ezihlamba umphezulu kaMars malunga neminyaka eziibhiliyoni ezine eyadlulayo.
Abaphandi bafumene izakhiwo ezimilise okwe-wave, okanye ii-antidunes, ezishiywe ngasemva zezi megafloods kwimaleko yentlabathi kaMars. Ezinye zifana neempawu zejoloji ezenziwe ngokunyibilika komkhenkce eMhlabeni malunga neminyaka emibini yezigidi eyadlulayo.
Ukufumanisa kukuqhekeka komhlaba. Sichonge ii-megafloods okokuqala ngqa sisebenzisa idatha eneenkcukacha ze-sedimentological ebonwa yi-rover Curiosity, utshilo u-Alberto G. Fairén, ongomnye wababhali bophando. Iidipozithi ezishiywe ngasemva zii-megafloods zazingachazwanga ngaphambili ngedatha ye-orbiter.
Bona kwakho: Izazinzulu zifumana imiqondiso emitsha yoBomi boMhlaba kwiMars nakwezinye iindawo kwiSolar System
Olu phononongo lukhokelwa yi-NASA yeJet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) ngokusebenzisana nabaphandi abavela kwiYunivesithi yaseJackson State, kwiYunivesithi yaseCornell nakwiDyunivesithi yaseHawaii.
Iruriver rover ixele idatha yoludaka kwiMars ’Gale Crater, apho izazinzulu zikholelwa ukuba yayiqhele ukuba lichibi. Isifundo sangaphambili sedatha yokufuna ukwazi yafumanisa ukuba izaqhwithi zakudala-zazikwiminyaka eziibhiliyoni ezine eyadlulayo-zakha zakha imilambo namachibi kule ndawo.
Ngokubhekisele kwii-megafloods ezisandula ukufunyanwa, abaphandi bakholelwa ukuba i-antidunes, ephakama ukuya kwi-30 yeenyawo ukuphakama kwaye isasazeka i-450 yeemitha ngokwahlukeneyo, ngekhe yenziwa ngamanzi kangange-78 yeenyawo ezinzulu ezihlamba ngaphezulu komngxunya ngesantya seenyawo ezingama-32 Isibini.
Izikhukula ezigqithisileyo kungenzeka zibangelwe yi-asteroid ebetha i-Red Planet kwaye inyibilike isiqwenga somkhenkce esigqume umphezulu womhlaba ngelo xesha.
Okubaluleke ngakumbi, obu bubungqina bokuba uMars wayesetyenziselwa ukuxhasa ubomi obuninzi. Iminyaka emashumi yokuqwalaselwa zii-orbiters kunye ne-rover yomphezulu ziye zafumanisa ukuba uMars wayeyiplanethi ekuhlalwa kuyo kwakudala. Nokuba kubanjelwe ubomi ngokwenene, nangona kunjalo, iya kuba ngumbuzo kwiMars rover elandelayo, njengoko uMdlandla usondela esiphelweni sobomi bayo.
Ukufuna ukwazi kuye kwajikeleza iPlanethi ebomvu ngaphezulu kweminyaka esibhozo (i-2950 sols okanye i-3031 yeentsuku zomhlaba). Ilandela lakhe, Ukunyamezela kokunyamezela kwe-NASA , yasungulwa nge-30 kaJulayi. Kucwangciselwe ukuba iwele eMars ’Jezero Crater, ngoFebruwari 18, 2021. 
Le mephu yeRed Planet ibonisa iJezero Crater, apho i-NASA's Mars 2020 rover icwangciselwe ukuhlala ngoFebruwari 2021. Kukwabandakanyiwe neendawo apho zonke ezinye iintlanganiso zeNASA eziphumeleleyo zachukunyiswa.I-NASA
