Perseverance Rover's Descent and Touchdown on Mars (0fficial NASA Video)
NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance mission captured
thrilling footage of its rover landing in Mars' Jezero
Crater on Feb. 18, 2021. The real footage in this video
was captured by several cameras that are part of the
rover's entry, descent, and landing suite. The views
include a camera looking down from the spacecraft's
descent stage (a kind of rocket-powered jet pack that
helps fly the rover to its landing site), a camera on the
rover looking up at the descent stage, a camera on the
top of the aeroshell (a capsule protecting the rover)
looking up at that parachute, and a camera on the
bottom of the rover looking down at the Martian surface.
The audio embedded in the video comes from the
mission control call-outs during entry, descent, and
landing
