Meanwhile on Mars:
Perseverance rover completed a 15 minute drive to site 87.0 on March 5, 2026 (Sol 1792). This post-drive roughly processed image was assembled / cropped from 6 post-drive NavCam tiles. I'll add the drive details and updated location map in the comments. Image Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech.

Perseverance rover looks back after long drive to the southwest during November 17, 2025 (Sol 1686).
The traverse distance was 285m (936ft), with a climb of 8.7m (28ft), drive duration was 220 minutes. Attached is a roughly processed tiled NavCam and the drive data. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech.

Mars Guy: Episode 239.
Mars is notorious for having copious amounts of dust, so when the dust cover of the highest resolution camera on Perseverance could not be closed, it seemed doomed. Here’s what’s happened after 21 months uncovered.

Meanwhile on Mars: An uphill drive lasting ~67 minutes for Perseverance rover during mission Sol 1661 (October 22, 2025). The distance was ~44 meters due north, climbing ~9.2 meters, with an end-of-drive tilt of 18.7°.

Attached is a processed rear HazCam image looking downslope at its wheel tracks, the drive data, and screen captures of the updated mission map (with scale bars).
