Abstract
As NASA's Mars 2020 mission continues to relay images and information to Earth, it relies on advanced composites to do its job. Its delivery spacecraft's protective aeroshell/heat shield, the Perseverance rover and its unique Ingenuity helicopter, all incorporated material supplied by US-based Toray Advanced Composites, through a partnership with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Lockheed Martin, and AeroVironment.
