Watch The Official NASA Video Of Perseverance Rover Landing On Mars

February 23, 2021

NASA's Mars 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.
