Smithsonian Mars Dig Science Kit

Product Description

Chisel away at a sand block to unearth the same type of rocks found on Mars!

Perseverance is the fifth rover to be sent to Mars and the first ever to bring a sample gathering system to collect rocks and sediments – all to be returned to Earth by a future NASA mission!
