Equipped with multiple cameras capable of photographing in color, Perseverance began shooting before touching the land of Mars. This video posted this time isImages from each camera that capture the situation from the sky to landing at an altitude of approximately 11,000 mIt is contained in one Read aloud the data sent by Perseverance on the day of landingMission control voiceIt is also logged.
The video is from the camera on top of the back case.Parachute deploymentIt starts from where I caught.Heat resistant shield separationAfter that, the camera at the bottom of Perseverance’s main unit extends belowMars surfaceAfter I started shooting, the descent that appears to sway slowly continues for a while, but when the rear shell that contained the descent stage including Perseverance’s main body is detached, the swaying stops.Rocket-powered descent on descent stageBegins.

Perseverance begins the descent stage as the surface approaches.“Sky crane” suspended by a cableIt moves to the so-called shape.As for the sky crane state, a still image cropped from the video taken by the descent stage camera was released in advance, but in this video, in addition to the descent stage camera, decline.The appearance of the descent stage as if the Perseverance main unit’s camera is looking up.ORCondition of the soil surface directly belowIt is also reflected.
The video ends when the separate descent stage flies in immediately after Perseverance lands, and the mission control confirming the landing is full of cheers. Deputy General Manager of NASA Science Mission HeadquartersThomas Zurbuchen 氏“Young people who want to join us in building spaceships and exploring other worlds will surely see it,” he says.

in recent yearsRocket launchAnd on the International Space Station (ISS)Extravehicular activityThe situation as it is becoming a familiar sight through video, but as of nowThe moment the spaceship / rover landed on another celestial bodyIt is a video that makes you feel strongly that you will be able to see it in clear images.

This sound is the mic installed in Perseverance「EDL Microphone」Recorded on February 20 local time byThe sound of the wind blowing in the Jezero craterIt has been captured. In addition to the noiseless version of the audio file, the original version that includes noise is also available.
The microphone used for recording is a commercial product that was not designed for space exploration and was installed to capture sound during the entry, descent, and landing process (Entry, Descent, Landing: EDL) in the Martian atmosphere. . According to NASA, the recording during the descent did not go well, but it was possible to record this sound after landing.
Engineer at NASA / Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)Dave Gruel 氏“We hope to enrich the experience of the general public, especially visually impaired space enthusiasts, who have a keen interest in exploring Mars, as well as attracting and inspiring people from all over the world, and we will add a microphone. I did. “

In addition, the mast-mounted navigation camera, which is also known as the “head” of perseverance.「NavCam」6 images taken by360 degree panoramic imageEtc. are also open to the public. JPL is testing each system for perseverance and in a few days will support color shooting of still images, movies and 3D stereo images.「Mastcam-Z」High resolution panoramic shooting is also planned.
