Video: Perseverance Landing on Mars
This video composite shows the Entry, Descent, and Landing of the Perseverance Rover on Mars. It begins with the deployment of a huge parachute that dramatically slows the spacecraft. Next, the heat shield separates, and the rover descends with its rocket-powered descent stage. The video provides a detailed view of the seven-minute journey from the top of the Martian atmosphere to the surface.
