NASA Perseverance Rover Initial Surface Checkout Briefing

A high-resolution still image captured from cameras aboard the descent stage as NASA’s Perseverance rover touched down on Mars Feb. 18, 2021, is shown during a NASA Perseverance rover initial surface checkout briefing, Friday Feb. 19, 2021, at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. A key objective for Perseverance’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet’s geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith.
