Mastcam, Mastcam, hazard avoidance

0:06

camera, Hazcam, and the navigation

0:09

camera, Navcam. These images were taken

0:11

by Mastcam, Hazcam, and Navcam. These

0:16

cameras are located high on the rover's

0:18

mast and also aids in driving.

0:20

Perseverance Mars rover acquired most of

0:23

these images using its Mastcam, Hazcam,

0:26

and Navcam. These cameras are located

0:30

high on the rover's mast and also aids

0:32

in driving. Perseverance Mars rover

0:34

acquired most of these images on 14th

0:37

June 2026,

0:40

the 1,890th

0:42

Martian day or sol of the Perseverance

0:45

rover mission on Mars.

After nearly 5 years on Mars, NASA's

0:56

Perseverance rover has traveled almost

0:59

25 miles, and the mission team has been

1:02

busy testing the rover's durability and

1:05

gathering new science finding on the way

1:07

to a new region nicknamed Lucky Charms,

1:10

where it will be searching for the rocks

1:12

to sample in the coming years.

1:14

Like its predecessor Curiosity, which

1:16

has been exploring a different region of

1:18

Mars since 2012, Perseverance was made

1:21

for a long haul.

1:23

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in

1:25

Southern California, which built

1:27

Perseverance and leads the mission, has

1:29

continued testing the rover's part here

1:32

on Earth to make sure that the

1:34

six-wheeled scientist will be strong for

1:36

the years to come.

1:37

This past summer, JPL certified that the

1:40

rotary actuator that turns the rover's

1:42

wheel can perform optimally for at least

1:44

another 37 miles. Comparable brake

1:47

testing is underway as well.

1:50

Perseverance mission launched on 30th

1:52

July 2020, and it landed on the Martian

1:55

surface on 18th February 2021.

1:59

NASA's Perseverance rover is a key part

2:01

of Mars 2020 mission exploring the

2:04

Jezero crater on Mars. Its primary goals

2:07

are to search for sign of past microbial

2:09

life, characterize the planet's geology

2:12

and past climate, and collect and cache

2:14

Martian rock samples for future return

2:16

to Earth mission.

2:18

The rover also carries the Ingenuity

2:20

helicopter, which has successfully flown

2:23

on the another planet.

2:25

The Jezero crater, a site believed to

2:27

have once held a lake and river system,

2:30

making it a prime location to search for

2:33

sign of past life.

2:35

A key objective for Perseverance's

2:37

mission on Mars is astrobiology,

2:39

including the search for sign of ancient

2:42

microbial life.

2:43

The rover will characterize the planet's

2:45

geology and past climate, pave the way

2:48

for human exploration of the red planet,

2:51

and be the first mission to collect and

2:53

cache Martian rock samples.

2:55

Subsequent NASA missions in cooperation

2:57

with ESA would send spacecraft to Mars

3:00

to collect these sealed samples from the

3:02

surface and return them to Earth for

3:04

in-depth analysis.

3:08

The Mars 2020 Perseverance mission is a

3:10

part of NASA's Moon to Mars exploration

3:13

approach, which includes Artemis mission

3:15

to the Moon that will help prepare for

3:17

human exploration of the red planet.

3:20

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which

3:22

is managed for the agency by Caltech in

3:25

Pasadena, built and manages operation of

3:28

the Mars Perseverance rover.

3:31

Let me tell you again that all these

3:32

image credits NASA, JPL, Caltech, MSSS,

3:36

and Perseverance Mars rover acquired

3:38

most of these images on 14th June 2026,

3:42

the 1,890th

3:44

Martian day or sol of the Perseverance

3:47

rover mission on Mars.
