(MENAFN- NewsBytes) In an unexpected turn of events, NASA has delayed the launch of its next Mars rover .

The agency planned to launch the robotic vehicle, called Perseverance, on July 22, but now it says that the historic lift-off will take place "no earlier than" July 30.

The pushback comes even as the window for Mars launch continues to run out.

Here's more about it.
