The rover used its Mastcam instrument to capture the area on the 4,352 Martian day of the pioneering mission. Images of the area from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter had shown light-colored ...
NASA has documented the diverse debris scattered by the 2021 landing of its high-tech Perseverance rover, including a strange-looking ball of tangled, "spaghetti"-like material, which the space ...
An example of an additional object from a spacecraft landing is the metal shroud ejected by the Viking 2 lander, as seen in this 1977 view of Mars. The shroud covered the surface sampler instrument and could be seen in images taken by the lander while it was active on the surface.
A dust devil captured by the Curiosity rover in 2020. Martian dust devils are convective atmospheric vortices that occur on the surface of Mars.They were discovered from data reported by NASA's Viking probes, and have been photographed by orbiting satellites and surface rovers in subsequent missions.
The NASA Perseverance rover may have found a pivotal clue that’s central to its mission on Mars: geological evidence that could suggest life existed on the red planet billions of years ago.
[4] [5] It was discovered by Efrain Palermo, who did extensive surveys of Martian probe imagery, and later confirmed by Lan Fleming, an imaging sub-contractor at NASA Johnson Space Center. [ 6 ] The general vicinity of the monolith is a proposed landing site by Optech and the Mars Institute , for a robotic mission to Phobos known as PRIME ...
The Mars monolith is a rectangular object, possibly a boulder, discovered on the surface of Mars. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took pictures of it from orbit, roughly 180 miles (300 km) away. [ 1 ]
Perseverance was equipped with a suite of cameras to film its landing. Now its science cameras are out, and the view is gorgeous.
