Perseverance in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory near Pasadena, California. The Perseverance design evolved from its predecessor, the Curiosity rover. The two rovers share a similar body plan, landing system, cruise stage, and power system, but the design was improved in several ways for Perseverance.
After each landing, it transmits photographs and other data to Perseverance, which relays the information to Earth. NASA will build on the helicopter's design for future Mars missions. [ 71 ] The helicopter flew 72 times until its end of mission on January 25, 2024. [ 72 ]
Octavia E. Butler Landing is the February 18, 2021, landing site of the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover within Jezero crater on planet Mars. On March 5, 2021, NASA named the site for the American science fiction author, Octavia E. Butler, who died on February 24, 2006.

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover used its right-front navigation camera to capture this first view over the rim of Jezero Crater on Dec. 10, 2024, the 1,354th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.
The latest rover will journey to Mars on July 30, 2020. It's going to take a few rockets and perfect timing to stick the landing.
Perseverance rover - map of the first science campaign (yellow lines, below the landing site). The blue lines above the landing site correspond to the planned second campaign, [8] although the second campaign did not officially start until the arrival of the rover at Three Forks. The Cratered Floor Campaign was the first science campaign. [9]
[use SpaceCraft Event Time (SCET) rather than Earth Received Time (ERT) which may be "off by about 14 minutes"]. in summary, "if you plug the time and date UT 2021-02-18 13:50:00 into an Mars2020 timekeeping calculation, you should obtain that it is mission time 00:00 on Sol 0. If you're off by a second or two, you're doing as well as Mars24.
