The rock was visible from one of the hazard avoidance cameras, and was determined not to be harmful to the rover's mission. The rock has since stayed on Perseverance ' s wheel for around 427 sols (439 days) as the rover traveled over 6 miles (9.7 km) on the martian surface. NASA deemed that Perseverance had adopted a pet rock for its journey.
NASA’s Perseverance rover is tackling a steep new challenge on Mars. The rover will go up 1,000 feet (305 meters) to the rim of Jezero Crater to dig up rock samples. Since landing on the red ...
Initially released in 2010, Eyes on the Solar System was the first in the Eyes family. Eyes on the Solar System provides realistic simulated views of spacecraft, planets and other features within the Solar System with position and orientation of spacecraft and planets represented in the software are based on real data from JPL.

2020-052A. Mastcam-Z is a multispectral, stereoscopic imaging instrument. It serves as the primary science camera on NASA's Perseverance rover. The Principal Investigator is Jim Bell of Arizona State University. [ 1] The instrument was designed and built by Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego, California .
While the next solar eclipse in the United States won't be for another two years, the Perseverance Mars rover, which landed on the surface of the Red Planet in early 2021, recently captured ...
One of the many pesky barriers to humans freely exploring and inhabiting Mars is the planet’s lack of oxygen. Luckily, NASA’s Perseverance rover can help. Using an instrument dubbed MOXIE ...
Rovers are used to explore, collect information, and take samples of the surface. This is a list of all rovers on extraterrestrial bodies in the Solar System. Since 1970, there have been seven lunar rovers, seven Mars rovers, and three asteroid rovers that have successfully landed and explored these extraterrestrial surfaces.
Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment. The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) [1] was a technology demonstration on the NASA Mars 2020 rover Perseverance investigating the production of oxygen on Mars. [2] On April 20, 2021, MOXIE produced oxygen from carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere by using solid oxide electrolysis.
