It is the year 2029. In 2020, the Perseverance Rover collected rock samples from the Mars surface and left them in tubes at "depot" locations on the planet. Now, it's your job to direct the Mars Sample Fetch Rover to retrieve as many sample tubes as possible. Once the samples return to the Mars Ascent Vehicle, they can be launched to Earth for further study.
