One of Perseverance’s first activities in surface mode is to take a pair of pictures with the engineering cameras – known as the Hazard Cameras, or Hazcams – on the front and rear of the rover. Hazcams have clear covers over their lenses to protect them from dust that gets kicked up during landing. The first two images – front and rear Hazcam image...
Perseverance’s first Martian day on the surface of the Red Planet is known as Sol 0. A sol is a Martian day, which is 24 hours, 39 minutes, 35.244 seconds. (Perseverance team members tend to refer to sols rather than Earth days during operations since the rover will be working during the Martian day and “sleeping” during the Martian night.) The pri...
After mission controllers have determined that rover systems are functioning as desired, Perseverance will find a flat area to serve as a helipad for the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter technology demonstration. In the first months after landing, if all goes well, the rover will deploy Ingenuity in the center of this area and drive a safe distance (about...
At the end of these experimental helicopter flights, Perseverance will begin its surface operations phase, when the team will carry out its ambitious science mission: searching for signs of ancient microbial life, characterizing the climate and geology of Mars, and collecting carefully selected and documented samples for future return to Earth. Fin...
The Mars 2020 mission spacecraft that includes the Perseverance rover will launch to the Red Planet in July or August 2020 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. With the help of celestial mechanics, the spacecraft will arrive at Mars about seven months later.
Jul 30, 2020 · The Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover searches for signs of ancient microbial life, to advance NASA's quest to explore the past habitability of Mars. The rover is collecting core samples of Martian rock and regolith (broken rock and soil), for potential pickup by a future mission that would bring them to Earth for detailed study.
