How to watch Mars rover landing today

The rover has been traveling in space since launching from Cape Canaveral, Florida in late July. When it reaches Mars, diligence will travel 292.5 million miles in its journey from Earth.

Drata is NASA’s first mission to find signs of ancient life on a large planet and help answer the big question: Was life ever present on Mars? Rover Je.9 will explore the Jezero crater, an ancient lake that existed billions of years ago, and will discover microphosils in the rocks and soils there.

With a ride with perseverance, for the first time there is an experiment of flying a helicopter to another planet, called ingenuity.

Unfortunately, we can’t see the SUV-sized Rover Land on the surface of Mars – technically we say it’s not there yet.

But NASA is inviting the world to join in its countdown and landing commentary, which will begin live on ET on Thursday at 2:15 p.m. NASA’s public TV channel, website, app, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitch, Daily Motion or Theta.tv.

First, the agency will also provide a Spanish-language show for the landing.

During the landing coverage, NASA’s mission control team will be able to confirm whether the rover landed safely on the surface of Mars.

Naturally, the rover has its own Twitter And Facebook accounts, where you can expect updates from the mission team from Rover’s perspective. And you can trust Curiosity Rover and Insight Lender will welcome Drata to his home, the Red Planet.

The agency has fun ways to participate in countdown stimuli, such as photo booths and activities for children and students. You can also follow every step of the rover landing via NASA Interactive or sign up for a virtual landing experience.

“If we have one thing out there, it’s never been easier to land on Mars,” said Mark Atkind, NASA’s associate administrator for communications, in a statement. “But as NASA’s fifth Mars rover, Perseverance has an exceptional engineering lineage and mission team.”

Just weeks after landing, if everything goes according to plan, the camera and microphone on the spacecraft will show the rover’s perspective for the first time.
