Navigation cameras aboard the Mars rover captured this view of the rover’s deck on Monday. This view provides an insight into PIXL (the Planetary Instrument for X-Ray Lithochemistry), one of the rover’s stowed arm instruments. Photo courtesy of NASA / JPL-Caltech
This panorama, taken by the navigation cameras aboard Perseverance, was put together from six individual images after they were returned to Earth. Subsequent missions, which are currently being studied by NASA in collaboration with the European Space Agency, would send spacecraft to Mars to collect these cached samples from the surface and return them to Earth for in-depth analysis. .

You can see the perseverance falling through the Martian atmosphere in the descent stage, with its parachute behind, in this image taken on Thursday by the camera of the high-resolution image experiment aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter L The ancient river delta, which is the target of the Perseverance mission, can be seen entering Jezero Crater on the left.

The first photos taken by NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover after landing on the Martian surface. A key goal for Perseverance’s mission to Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. Photo courtesy of NASA License photo
These computer simulations show the landing of constancy on the Martian surface. The rover will characterize the planet’s past geology and climate, paving the way for human exploration of the red planet and will be the first mission to collect and hide Martian rock and regulita.

In this illustration of its descent to Mars, the spacecraft carrying NASA’s Perseverance rover slows down by dragging its motion into the Martian atmosphere. Hundreds of critical events must run accurately in time for the rover to land on Mars safely. Entry, descent, and landing, or “EDL,” begins when the probe reaches the top of the Martian atmosphere, traveling about 12,500 mph. The cruising stage separates about 10 minutes before entering the atmosphere, leaving the air shell, which closes the rover and descent stage, to make the journey to the surface.
