NASA scientists presented amazing early pictures of the landing of the rover (Perseverance), including a selfie of the six-wheeled vehicle hanging over the surface of the Red Planet moments before landing, and this color photo was taken by a camera installed on the Sky Crane “And which is powered by the rocket and is located directly above (Perseverance) with the landing of the spacecraft on Thursday on the soil of Mars.

The image was revealed by mission managers during an online news release from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory near Los Angeles less than 24 hours after landing.The image shows the entire vehicle suspended from three cables from the Sky crane, along with a communications wire, as swirls can be seen. “This is something we have never seen before,” said crane rocket propellers from dust blown off by crane rocket propellers. “This is something we’ve never seen before,” said Aaron Stehura, deputy captain of the mission landing team, and the photo was taken at the end of what was described as “seven minutes of terror” just before Perseverance landed at the bottom of a vast basin called a crater Jezero after a trip to Mars at 12,000 miles per hour.
NASA hopes this week to provide more images and videos – perhaps some with audio – captured by all six cameras installed on the spacecraft.
