The perseverance Rover is a Mars rover that has been flying towards Mars for several months, and NASA is already getting ready to place the vehicle on the Red Planet. The process will be automatic and it will be 7 minutes of great uncertainty for the agency. The perseverance Rover is now ready to land and we know a live stream will be available.
NASA launched the Perseverance Rover into space last July. Over the past few months, the machine has been heading towards Mars, where it should land soon. NASA is preparing for the operation, which is scheduled for February 18. On that day, the vehicle will enter the atmosphere of the Red Planet.
NASA has confirmed that the Perseverance Rover is now ready to land on Mars. The rover is technically efficient and the team of operators is getting ready for a difficult process. The landing itself will take place automatically, which is due to too long delays in radio communication with the machine.
After entering the atmosphere of Mars, the landing process will begin. A huge parachute will be used here to stop the vehicle falling down. Finally, the flying crane will be detached, which will lower the Perseverance Rover to the surface. the whole process will take 7 minutes and NASA will wait for a mission success signal. You can see the landing stages in the graphic below.
The process will be difficult, as NASA is well aware of. Before descending, the machine will move at a speed of 22 thousand. km / h. The success of the mission depends, among others from adequate braking of a falling vehicle. The agency plans to release LIVE.
