Perseverance - Blog Posts
What is the weirdest thing you had to account for when building the perseverance rover?
I've been very curious about the basis on which the landing site is decided! I read that it will land in the Jerezo crater, so is there a particular reason behind choosing that place for the landing?
Will the robot be able to send vedio footage?
What kind of math is needed to get to Mars? How is the path of the lander calculated?
what is the biggest challenge in the preparation of such a mission and how do you handle it?
Is there any chance that something could go wrong?
Why is the final phase so difficult?Sorry if I sound dumb,I'm just curious.Also,what will be the rover's first task after landing?
How will the audio feed from Perseverance make its way back to Earth?
Hello!! Its wonderful to be able to ask questions, thank you!
About Perseverance, does it have a self-repair option? And as Curiosity is still operational, will they run missions together? Or will they split up to cover more distance?
Is this a sign that we're close to being able to set foot on Mars?
My final question is how do you receive the messages from such a long distance?
Thanks for all your hard work! 加油/Good luck!
“Is this a sign that we are close to being able to set foot on Mars?”
That's a wrap! Thank you all for the wonderful questions.
NASA Mars Perseverance Rover Mission Engineer Chloe Sackier answered questions about how we prepared for the mission, Perseverance’s entry, descent, and landing, and what Perseverance will do once on Mars.

We hope you had fun today and learned a little bit about our robotic astrobiologist landing on Mars on February 18th. You won't want to miss this! Tune in to NASA TV HERE starting at 2:15 p.m. EST.
If today’s Answer Time got you excited, team up with us to #CoutdownToMars! We created a virtual Mars photo booth, have sounds of Mars to listen to and more for all you Earthlings to channel your inner Martian. Check out ways to participate HERE.

Difference between the wheels of Curiosity and Perseverance mars rovers.
After seeing the wear and tear Curiosity's wheels endured while driving over sharp Martian rocks, engineers redesigned Perseverance's to be more robust. They're narrower, with a bigger diameter and thicker aluminum.
Being a NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador has its perks. Not only do I get to talk to kids about space science, but I also get some cool mission shirts! The Perseverance Rover is currently collecting samples of Martian rock and soil. Soon, it will be dropping off some collection tubes at a point called Three Forks Sample Depot. In the near future, the Mars Sample Recovery Mission will pick up the Martian samples and bring them back to Earth for analysis. #explorepage #nasa #perseverance #mars2020 #lifeonmars #marssamplereturn #jpl https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck44siYuh2V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So excited for Ingenuity’s first flight on Mars!!! Here’s my Ingenuity poster I designed to hand out at my daughter’s school. . . . #mars #ingenuity #perseverance #mars2020 #nasa #jpl #solarsystemambassador https://www.instagram.com/p/CNSvhdUDVyC/?igshid=n53zitpqd3rz
Due to differences in pressure, temperature, and composition of atmospheres, sound waves would travel differently to our ears on Mars. This video shows how I sound on Earth and how I would sound on Mars. (turn sound on) #SolarSystemAmbassador #space #mars #perseverance https://www.instagram.com/p/CMSX5DDD_Dm/?igshid=1wa38o2h8446q
We use filters and adjustments to bring out details in the images Perseverance sends us from Mars. These adjustments help scientists on Earth learn more about our planetary neighbor. #nasajpl #perseverance #stem #marsrover #solarsystemambassador . . jmbrackett.com https://www.instagram.com/p/CL8QvzSjhYR/?igshid=1e5frwtksyn6e
What a day! Video from the landing! Raw images to work with! This is so cool! @nasajpl @nasa @nasasolarsystem #perseverance #percy #mars2020 #solarsystemambassador https://www.instagram.com/p/CLn80E2D2Jx/?igshid=j6nbbbsv9hbr
This is so freakin’ cool! I’m already working with raw data from Perseverance! This image was taken today! Keep in mind, this is from a camera that’s like a backup cam on your car. The main cameras haven’t been deployed yet. That’s when the real fun starts! #perseverance #mars #nasa #solarsystemambassador https://www.instagram.com/p/CLk23M7jGSl/?igshid=phqp9inq7owd
Gathering materials for my first Solar System Ambassador event, the landing of the Perseverance rover on Mars. This one hits me a little differently, since I had a small part as a judge in the name choice essays. Perseverance touches down on Mars on February 18, 2021. #mars #perseverance @nasa @nasasolarsystem #space #marsrover #mars2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLBiu2uD1gX/?igshid=1x25d71dp0b22
If Alan Shepard can take swings on the Moon, then I call dibs on Mars. I’ll have Perseverance data to keep me out of the bunkers. @nasa @nasajpl #mars #perseverance #nasaperseverance #marsrover #mars2020 #mars2020rover https://www.instagram.com/p/CDsSY85nQoj/?igshid=192a1toh0qhtm
Looking forward to the launch of Perseverance as part of MARS2020.

I was honored to be selected as a judge for this contest. A young man named Alexander Mather from Virginia chose the name “Perseverance” and wrote the winning essay. Perseverance is scheduled to launch to Mars this July. @nasa @nasajpl #nasa #mars #marsrover #space #perseverance #mars2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CBS-LPVH6tj/?igshid=1pzag6xydhku4
Imagine being this beautiful:
They are the sh*t, and they know it.
...❤️❤️
Allow us to reintroduce someone … the name’s Perseverance.
With this new name, our Mars 2020 rover has now come to life! Chosen by middle school student Alex Mather, Perseverance helps to remind ourselves that no matter what obstacles we face, whether it’s on the way to reaching our goals or on the way to Mars, we will push through. In Alex’s own words,
“We are a species of explorers, and we will meet many setbacks on the way to Mars. However, we can persevere. We, not as a nation but as humans, will not give up. The human race will always persevere into the future.”
Welcome to the family. ❤️

I finally got to finish this awesome underfell au version of my perseverance oc Hope!!
i got the fell sans design from an artist on here called @theskeletongames cause i love their art of the skeleton boy's and I've been wanting to make fanart of their design, i recommend checking them out cause their art is amazing and their comics.
the UFY Clover design is from @pantamonte an artist i also follow on here, I'm a fan of their underfell art it's really accurate of what the characters would look like if edgyfied and i added two small extra details to make it stand out more. i also recommend checking them out as well.
last but not least is a huge shout out to @vantriloquist for helping me figure out what color pallets to use for Underfell au theme outfit cause my stars it was hard to figure out lolz, without their help i would definitely be still lost they were super kind enough to give me helpful advice with some color references to use or help me with ideas. please also check out this amazing artist cause they are super kind, amazing and talented and their art is awesome. ^^
when you can please show these amazing and talented artists some love and kindness and check out their amazing work. :)
