Mars Reconnaissance image by bitbiter, captures diligence while parasitizing through the atmosphere
Washington Washington:
On Friday, NASA released stunning new photographs of the Perseverance, one of which was lightly lowered to the surface of Mars by a set of cables, the first time such a vision has been taken.
High resolution was still out of the video taken by the spacecraft’s landing stage, which transported the rover from Earth.
At that moment, as part of the final landing phase, the landing phase was using its six-engine jetpack to slow down to a speed of about 1.7 miles per hour (2.7 kilometers).

“You can see the dust from the rover’s engines,” said Adam Steltzner, chief engineer of Perseverance, who estimated that the bullet was about two meters (six feet) or above the ground.
Three straight lines are mechanical bridles that hold the rover down to the descending phase, while a spiral cable was used to transfer data from the camera to the stabilizer.
When the rover reached the bottom, it cut 6.4-meter-long cables, allowing the descent stage to fly to its safe landing.
Another new image taken by the Mars Reconnaissance bitwriter captures Perseverance as it travels through the atmosphere at hundreds of miles per hour.
Perseverance is also capable of uploading its first high-resolution, color photo showing the flat territory it landed in the Jezero Crater, where the river and deep lake existed billions of years ago.
The second color images show one of the rover’s six wheels, with many hive rocks lying beside it, believed to be more than 6 billion years old.
“One of the questions we’re going to ask first is whether these rocks represent the origin of volcanoes or silt,” said Katie Stack Morgan, NASA’s deputy project scientist.
Volcanic rocks in particular can be dated with very high precision once specimens are brought to Earth on future return missions.
Once exciting developments from the point of view of planetary science – especially volcanic rocks can be dated with very precision.
As soon as the first images came, “it was exciting, the team went wild,” said Paul Lin Hwang, manager of mission operations operations system.
“The science team immediately started looking inside all those rocks and zooming in, ‘What is that!’ – It wouldn’t be better. “
The first two images were released shortly after the rover’s landing on Thursday, but were in low resolution and black-and-white due to limited data rates.
NASA hopes to take more high-resolution photos and videos in the coming days, but it is not yet known if it has successfully recorded sound on Mars for the first time using a microphone.
It will probably be known this weekend or early next week, Steltzner said.
