It primarily uses the High-Gain Antenna to send data directly to Earth. A Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator provides electrical power to the rover. It converts heat from the natural radioactive decay of plutonium into electricity. The rover weighs 2,260 pounds (1,025 kilograms), less than a compact car. Perseverance is studying Mars' habitability, seeking signs of past microbial life, collecting and storing samples of selected rock and soil, and preparing for future human missions.
