Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover will hunt for fossils using x-rays

NASA currently expects to land the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover on the surface of Mars on February 18, 2021.
Once the rover is on the surface and working, it will begin to search for traces of microscopic life that could be billions of years old. The rover is fitted with an instrument called PIXL, which is a lunchbox-sized device at the end of the seven-foot-long robotic arm fitted to the rover.
