New video from NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover chronicles major milestones during the final minutes of its entry, descent and landing (EDL) on the Red Planet on Feb. 18 as the spacecraft plummeted, parachuted, and rocketed toward the surface of Mars.

From the moment of parachute inflation, the camera system covers the entirety of the descent process, showing some of the rover’s intense ride to Mars’ Jezero Crater. The footage from high-definition cameras aboard the spacecraft starts 7 miles (11 kilometers) above the surface, showing the supersonic deployment of the most massive parachute ever sent to another world and ends with the rover’s touchdown in the crater.

  1. Genuine question, what makes this landing THAT much more special compared to the previous ones, yet they have already landed several rovers on mars before? I understand Perserverance is a huge upgrade in tech and such, but no one really talks about the 5th and so on moonlanding back then. What is the big breakthrough that makes this landing much more special?
