On this day 2 years ago, “Touchdown Confirmed!!” #CountdownToMars #MarsPerseverance #Mars2020 landed on the surface of #Mars
After all the camera recording of entry descent and landing was beamed back to #JPL, they made this landing reconstruction video.
My S.O. is part of radar team so there was a biiiig “yessssss!!!” at the moment of “radar lock” in this sequence.
🥹😭 recalling the days deep in pandemic (work remotely) when this happened. #DareMightyThings
Launching to Mars is hard — and in these times, even harder — but NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover team has met the challenge. This robotic astrobiologist and scientist is headed to the Red Planet to seek signs of ancient life, pave the way for human explorers, and collect rock and soil samples for future return to Earth.
