It's been almost 50 years since the first serious plans were formulated to bring samples from Mars to Earth for analysis, but it's an enormously difficult problem that requires collaboration between multiple spacecraft and launch vehicles to get a small selection of carefully curated rocks from Mars back to Earth.

NASA & ESA Are working together on a mission which will take 3 spacecraft to return the samples collected by Perserverance
