Taking the first spin
Two weeks after it landed on the planet, the rover took a short drive on the floor of the massive crater putting a total of 6.5 meters on its odometer during a half-hour test spin on Mars. The rover rolled 4 meters forward, turned about 150 degrees to its left and then drove backwards another 2.5 meters. “It went incredibly well,” Anais Zarifian, a JPL mobility test engineer for Perseverance, said during a teleconference briefing with reporters.
Capturing first audio from another world
Apart from being an astrobiology lab, the rover has been equipped with some of the most high-end instruments to make it as close to a living embodiment. One of those pieces of equipment is a mic that captured the audio of the rover moving on another world. In the audio clip released by the US space agency in March, bangs, pings, and rattles of the six-wheeled rover could be heard clearly. Two versions of the audio clip of the same drive were released by Nasa. A lot of peop
NASA’s Perseverance Drives on Mars’ Terrain for First Time
NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover performed its first drive on Mars March 4, covering 21.3 feet (6.5 meters) across the Martian landscape. The drive served as a mobility test that marks just one of many milestones as team members check out and calibrate every system, subsystem, and instrument on Perseverance. Once the rover begins pursuing its science goals, regular commutes extending 656 feet (200 meters) or more are expected.
“When it comes to wheeled vehicles on other planets, there are few first-time events that measure up in significance to that of the first drive,” said Anais Zarifian, Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mobility test bed engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “This was our first chance to ‘kick the tires’ and take Perseverance out for a spin. The rover’s six-wheel drive responded superbly. We are now confident our drive system is good to go, capable of ta

In the weeks since NASA successfully landed its Perseverance rover on the surface of Mars, the images, science and sounds that have come from the mission have proven to be groundbreaking.
A few days after touchdown, NASA shared incredible imagery from the landing of Perseverance; giving the public dramatic video footage of the complexities of a Mars landing without having to rely on engineering renderings.
In addition to the initial videos provided from the landing, Perseverance has also beamed over 9,000 images from its incredibly-advanced suite of cameras and imaging tools; the most high-tech of any rover ever built by NASA.
