The world might be in the midst of a health crisis at the moment but that isn’t stopping NASA from pushing full speed ahead with its Mars 2020 plans. In the latest example of the space agency’s drive to make the mission happen even in the face of incredible adversity, NASA showed off new images of the rover’s newly-installed wheels, and boy do they look lovely.
The wheels were installed at Kennedy Space Center, and they’re just the latest components in the incredibly long assembly process. The rover is essentially “done,” in that its various pieces are ready to go, but putting it all together and preparing it to be shot into space is a time-consuming process.
