The NASA Perseverance rover touched down on Mars last month, kicking off what we all hope will be many years studying the red planet. Perseverance isn’t the only robot in that part of the solar system. The ESA’s Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) is one of several missions looking down at the surface, and it has spotted the Perseverance rover on the floor of Jezero Crater. That’s it in the image above.

ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter snaps an image of Perseverance and its trash

There are multiple spacecraft in orbit around Mars, including the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. ExoMars recently snapped an image from its orbital perch of the aftermath of the Perseverance Rover’s landing showing the rover as a speck on the Martian surface along with discarded components from the landing. The image shows what the Red Planet’s surface now looks like, with another rover cruising its surface.
The image above shows in the far left the parachute and back shell from the rover, the crash location for the descent stage, the Perseverance rover itself in the center, and the round heatshield in the far right. ExoMars took the image on February 23, and it’s a joint mission of the ESA and Russia’s Roscosmos.
