The landing occurred in the late afternoon, with the first images taken at 15:53:58 on the mission clock (local mean solar time). [83] The landing took place shortly after Mars passed through its northern vernal equinox (Ls = 5.2°), at the start of the astronomical spring, the equivalent of the end of March on Earth. [84]
Video of descent and touchdown of Perseverance. Mars atmospheric entry is the entry into the atmosphere of Mars. High velocity entry into Martian air creates a CO 2-N 2 plasma, as opposed to O 2-N 2 for Earth air. [1] Mars entry is affected by the radiative effects of hot CO 2 gas and Martian dust suspended in the air. [2]
The footage could reveal the rover's entire descent and landing: a parachute deploy, jetpack maneuvers, and its wheels touching Martian ground. Watch NASA reveal the first video footage of its ...

Sky crane is a soft landing system used in the last part of the entry, descent and landing (EDL) sequence developed by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory for its two largest Mars rovers, Curiosity and Perseverance. While previous rovers used airbags for landing, both Curiosity and Perseverance were too heavy to be landed this way. Instead, a ...
