Perseverance just discovered debris on Mars


In February of 2021, the Perseverance Rover landed on Mars after a seven-month journey from the Earth. The cone-shaped back shell protected the Rover while landing on Mars with a parachute that slowed it down. [Here’s something you didn’t know about the parachute: It had a secret message written that said “Dare mighty things”]

Perseverance left those components behind when it started roaming the planet trying to get information as much as it could. But on April 19th, the companion helicopter of the Perseverance Rover Iginuity took photos of the debris left on the landing site.

Ian Clark said that this perseverance Rover mission had the best-documented landing in history so far, but Enginuity photos offer a very different perspective that helps ensure safer lending for future spacecraft.
