NASA decided to cancel the project and discontinue the rover's development due to cost increases, delays to the launch date, and the risks of future cost growth.
The cancelation would save the agency at least $84 million, as it would no longer have to pay for tests and rover operations, with concerns over additional expenses from further launch delays.
NASA plans to disassemble the rover and repurpose its instruments and components for future missions, considering proposals from American and international companies while prioritizing cost efficiency.
