The Perseverance rover continues to amaze us. Every day NASA sends images, videos and even the first sounds from the planet Mars. The Mars 2020 Perseverance rover will investigate a region of Mars where the ancient environment may have been conducive to microbial life, probing Martian rocks for evidence of past life. During his investigation, he will collect soil and rock samples and place them at strategic points on the surface for potential return to Earth on a future mission.
A spectacular video of the landing phase on the red planet is available on youtube at this link or under the side images.
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory website is constantly updated and shows all the images, videos and even the sounds of Mars.
