Perseverance [2] is a car-sized Mars rover designed to explore the Jezero crater on Mars as part of NASA's Mars 2020 mission. It was manufactured by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and launched on July 30, 2020, at 11:50 UTC . [ 3 ]
The Curiosity rover, which touched down on Mars in 2012, is directly responsible for a large portion of Perseverance's rover design, including its entry, descent, and landing mechanism. With Perseverance , new technological innovations will be demonstrated, and entry, descent, and landing capabilities will be improved.
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]
A key mission requirement for the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mission was that it help prepare for MSR. [39] [40] [41] The rover landed on 18 February 2021 in Jezero Crater to collect samples and store them in 43 cylindrical tubes for later retrieval. Image of one of the sample tubes.

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.
Animation of the SuperCAM on the Mars Perseverance rover (February 16, 2021) SuperCam Calibration Target with Mars Meteorite in the top of the plate. SuperCam is a suite of remote-sensing instruments for the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mission that performs remote analyses of rocks and soils with a camera, two lasers and four spectrometers to seek organic compounds that could hold ...
Mastcam-Z consists of two zoom cameras mounted on the remote sensing mast of the Perseverance rover. The design is an evolution of the Mastcam instrument provided for the previous Mars rover, Curiosity. They share the same detectors, electronics interface, firmware, and operations protocols.
