A second instrument called SuperCam on Mars 2020 rover will also pick out a sample for target practice.
In addition to calibrating the rover’s instruments, NASA will be able to use the target to monitor how these materials age while exposed to the Martian atmosphere.

Assuming the launch goes well, the next time we hear about Perseverance, it will be preparing for its landing in February 2021.
However, Perseverance will also Perseverance, previously known only as Mars 2020, is the successor of Curiosity.
Like the Rosalind Franklin ExoMars rover, the overall mission is to seek out
"We're studying things on such a fine scale that slight misalignments, caused by changes in temperature or even the rover settling into sand, can require us to correct our aim," said Luther Beegle of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
"The SHERLOC instrument is a valuable opportunity to prepare for human spaceflight as well as to perform fundamental scientific investigations of the Martian surface," said Marc Fries, a SHERLOC co-investigator. In addition, he is the author of a number of websites, four award-winning plays, a novel that has thankfully vanished from history, reviews, scholarly works ranging from industrial archaeology to law, and has worked as a feature writer for several international magazines. SHERLOC will use a similar process through taking pictures of Martian rock and mapping the chemicals that “glow” to indicate the presence of life.“This kind of science requires texture and organic chemicals—two things that our target meteorite will provide,” Rohit Bhartia, of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and SHERLOC’s deputy principal investigator, said in a statement.The hunt for the perfect meteorite to send back to Mars was carefully planned. The meteor sample will help the instrument to better pick out the texture and organic chemicals found.
Now, if all goes well, NASA will soon be sending a new rover - called Perseverance - to Mars too. David Szondy is a freelance journalist, playwright, and general scribbler based in Seattle, Washington. The one they chose, SaU008, was discovered in Oman in 1999.
In addition, the rover will carry samples of materials that could be used in spacesuits and other equipment on future manned Mars expeditions. In the ultimate example of sending coals to Newcastle, NASA is sending a piece of Mars back to the Red Planet on the Mars 2020 rover mission.

Rohit Bhartia of NASA's Mars 2020 mission holds a slice of a meteorite scientists have determined came from Mars It is supposed to land on the Mars in mid-February, 2021.Samples of rock found on the surface of Mars will then be packaged and left there to be retrieved by future teams – researchers believe that they will gain a more detailed picture of ‘life on Mars’ if they are able to use all of the tools available on Earth, rather than what’s just on the planet.
By 2032, space scientists may be able to study a piece of Mars in their laboratories Aug. 4, 2020, 6 p.m. Next spring is going to be a busy time for Mars. So what better for studying rocks on is on the lookout for any signs of life that originated on the planet. The rover is investigating a crater called Jezero, which scientists believe might have once held a lake and is believed to be one of the best places to look for evidence of past signs of life on the red planet. A piece of Martian meteorite – which eventually collided with Earth – will hopefully be returning back to its home planet as part of a NASA mission later this week.It’s been gone for a long time – over 600,000 years – and has been identified as a piece of rock from the surface of Mars since 1999 when it was discovered in Oman. A piece of a meteorite called Sayh al Uhaymir 008 (SaU008) will be carried on board NASA's Mars 2020 rover mission, now being built at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

"By studying how the instrument sees a fixed target, we can understand how it will see a piece of the Martian surface.
