(Feb. 18) Watch live as officials from NASA hold a post-landing briefing about the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover's historic landing on the surface of the Red Planet on Thursday, February 18, 2021.
Perseverance, NASA's largest and most sophisticated science rover, touched down in an ancient river delta that may contain signs of whether the planet ever harbored microbial life.
Cheers erupted at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, which oversees the agency’s rover fleet, when flight controllers received a signal Thursday at about 3:55 p.m. Eastern time that the rover had touched down. Perseverance had traveled 292 million miles (470 million kilometers) since launching July 30 from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
“When we put our arms together and our hands together and our brains together, we can succeed,” said Rob Manning, chief engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
