- NASA's Perseverance rover landing on Mars was a huge milestone in the mission.
- The rover stuck its landing perfectly, and we were quickly treated to a photograph showing the rover during its landing sequence.
- Now that the rover has had a chance to send back a whole bunch of data, NASA has published a full video of the rover landing, and it's awesome.
Last week, NASA made history with the landing of the Perseverance rover on the planet Mars. Not only is the rover the most technologically advanced robot ever to be sent to the Red Planet, but its actual landing operation broke some ground of its own. The descent hardware that ensured a soft landing was equipped with a high-resolution camera, and while video from that camera wasn't immediately available after the landing, it finally made it to NASA in the days that followed, and now we can watch it for ourselves.
This is the first time that a Mars landing has been captured on video in such a way, and it's a really stunning piece of footage. In it, we get to see the surface of Mars passing by as the rover travels to its landing location, the deployment of the rover, and the touchdown itself. It's a pretty wild video.
