NASA’s newest Mars rover used a camera on the end of its robotic arm to snap this shot of itself with the Ingenuity helicopter nearby.

The helicopter is scheduled to lift off close to the end of the day on April 11.

Perseverance’s MEDA will help us understand how to prepare astronauts for a future on the Red Planet.

NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter can be seen on Mars as viewed by the Perseverance rover’s rear Hazard Camera on April 4, 2021, the 44th Martian day, or sol of the mission.

MEDLI2 was one of the crucial technologies onboard the rover’s protective aeroshell that helped document the entry, descent, and landing of the spacecraft.

Now uncocooned from its protective carbon-fiber shield, the helicopter is being readied for its next steps.

NASA’s newest rover recorded audio of itself crunching over the surface of the Red Planet, adding a whole new dimension to Mars exploration.

Members of the projects will lay out the steps necessary before the helicopter attempts its historic test flights.

The new science results indicate that a large quantity of the Red Planet’s water is trapped in its crust rather than having escaped into space.

Working with the Navajo Nation, the rover team has named features on Mars with words from the Navajo language.

Data from the powerful science tool includes sounds of its laser zapping a rock in order to test what it’s made of.

The first trek of the agency’s largest, most advanced rover yet on the Red Planet marks a major milestone before science operations get under way.

Mission team members are participating in a virtual teleconference to discuss milestones achieved so far since the Feb. 18 landing and those to come.

The giant canopy that helped land Perseverance on Mars was tested here on Earth at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

A 360-degree panorama taken by the rover’s Mastcam-Z instrument will be discussed during a public video chat this Thursday.

When the Perseverance rover safely touched down on the Martian surface, inside Jezero Crater, on Feb. 18, 2021, it was also a safe landing for the nearly 11 million names on board.

The agency’s newest rover captured first-of-its kind footage of its Feb. 18 touchdown and has recorded audio of Martian wind.

First-of-its kind footage from the agency’s newest rover will be presented during a briefing this morning.

The technology demonstration has phoned home from where it is attached to the belly of NASA’s Perseverance rover.

The six-wheeled robot’s latest data since touching down yesterday include a hi-res image captured as the rover’s jetpack lowered it to the ground.

The agency’s latest and most complex mission to the Red Planet has touched down at Jezero Crater. Now it’s time to begin testing the health of the rover.

When the agency’s newest rover mission searches for fossilized microscopic life on the Red Planet, how will scientists know whether they’ve found it?

What to expect when the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover arrives at the Red Planet on Feb. 18, 2021.

A tightly choreographed dance between NASA’s Deep Space Network and Mars orbiters will keep the agency’s Perseverance in touch with Earth during landing and beyond.

Technology will collect critical data about the harsh entry environment during Perseverance’s entry next Thursday.

Mark your calendars for live landing commentary, news briefings, livestreamed Q&As, virtual watch parties, student activities, and more.

How two new technologies will help Perseverance, NASA’s most sophisticated rover yet, touch down onto the surface of Mars this month.

Even as the Perseverance rover approaches Mars, technology on board is paying off on Earth.

Seven minutes of harrowing descent to the Red Planet is in the not-so-distant future for the agency’s Mars 2020 mission.

NASA leadership and members of the mission will discuss the agency’s latest rover, which touches down on the Red Planet on Feb. 18.

Audio gathered by the mission may not sound quite the same on Mars as it would to our ears on Earth. A new interactive online experience lets you sample the difference.

The rover touches down on the Red Planet next month, and students are invited to join the excitement by designing, building, and landing their own Mars mission. NASA can help.

The Mars 2020 Perseverance rover, which has started its approach to the Red Planet, will help answer the next logical question in Mars exploration.
