NASA's Perseverance Rover began its long journey to Mars on July 30, 2020 by successfully launching from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on a ULA Atlas V rocket. It began its seven-month journey to the Red Planet, landing there on Feb. 18, 2021.
Successful Mars flyby (NASA) Launch: November 28, 1964. Mars flyby: July 14, 1965. Mariner 4 was the first spacecraft to fly by Mars and obtain close-up pictures of the Red Planet, passing within 9,844 kilometers (6,117 miles) of Mars. It then took four days to transmit the data back to Earth.
This animated orbital-map view shows the route NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has taken since its February 2021 landing at Jezero Crater to July 2024, when it took its “Cheyava Falls” sample.
NASA’s Mars Exploration Program will focus the next two decades on its science-driven systemic approach on these strategic goals: exploring for potential life, understanding the geology and climate of Mars, and preparation for human exploration.
