## Caption

Are you sending your name to Mars on our 2020 rover? Right now, nasajpl is testing this spacecraft, which will carry the rover on its seven-month journey to the Red Planet. Here, the top part is the cruise stage that powers and guides the spacecraft; below is the aeroshell which protects it on the way — including through a fiery descent into Mars' atmosphere.
