After almost 470 million kilometers, NASA’s Perseverance Rover will complete its journey to Mars next month, on February 18th, in order to search for traces of past life in the Jezero crater. However, to reach the surface of the Red Planet, he must survive the heartbreaking final phase known as Entrance, descent and landing.
In the range of about “Seven minutes of terror”Because this type of maneuver is known in NASA, the spacecraft detects from close range 20 thousand kilometers per hour near the top of the Martian atmosphere 3 kilometers per hour landing.
This will be the arrival on Mars
GODMOTHER distributed a video of just over three minutes in which the dizzying the arrival of the spacecraft on Mars. It all starts with lowering the capsule where it travels Perseverance from Martian orbit. The thermal screen allows resistance to heat by friction in contact with the atmosphere Planet Rosie.
After this phase, a parachute slows down the capsule, until the base detaches and Perseverance is falling apart, attached to a motorized structure that guides the vehicle to its exact destination. In the last meters, the structure lowers the rover with a system of cables until it rests on the ground and he eventually withdraws from the area.
Perseverance to look for signs of ancient microbial life on Mars, collects and stores Martian rocks and rocks (broken rock and dust) for future Earth missions, characterizing the planet’s geology and climate, and will pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet.
