Published 2021-05-18
Strange noises, undisclosed family portraits and relics brought from Earth are just some of the things revealed over the first leg of this incredible mission.
This, is 3 Months on Mars.
18th February, 2021. The Perseverance rover makes history by recording it’s descent and landing.
A coded message is hidden in the colouring of the parachute, which reads the phrase: ‘Dare Mighty Things’.
The heat shield is released, giving us a clear view of the surface.
The landing is fully automated; the craft is now checking for the best spot to land.
The sky-crane manoeuvre is initiated.
The video footage you are watching is currently being transmitted to the rover through a cable, before the cable is cut and the descent stage flies away to crash land.
Watch the video to find out what happens to the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter after landing!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is currently unknown what the rover will find during the next 3 months, but we will be here to document it. This video is the start of a special series following the Perseverance rover as it makes astounding new discoveries.
Be sure to check back in 3 months time for the next installment!

I just find this so fascinating... I mean, we've existed on our planet for millions of years, and we're alive at this EXACT moment to be able to experience this. Just think, lots of those rocks etc. have been sat up there the entire time. Amazing.
-
Seeing mars to me is like glitching into a part of a game you're not supposed to see, like Mars and planets are just future dlc for our simulation
-
the piece of the wright brothers plane being put on the heli is so cool. like imagine going back in time to tell them that part of their invention is on a different planet attached to something that was directly inspired by them
-
I love seeing the awe and inspiration in people's comments, in all my YouTube years never have I seen such positive comments.
-
These high-definition photos are so unreal. It feels like you're just looking at some desert on Earth, it would never cross my mind that it is on Mars unless you told me! So beautiful.
-
The fact that we can actually record sounds on Mars is mindblowing. I know it has an atmosphere, but it's so bizarre. Things literally could sound different on Mars.
-
I don't know what it is about these rovers, but it brings me so much joy. They are direct representations of us! Of human kind. The tremendous effort and stress that went into a great project like this. And to see your creation live on, sustaining itself, I feel like a proud father and I have nothing to even do with this.

FINALLY someone made an overview on what Perseverance has achieved so far. Thank You ElderFox
-
Already been 3 months? Incredible
-
I cant help but smile and give everytime I see that helicopter fly by. It's like a child playing on a beach 🤣
-
Thank you SO much for the wonderful information, presentation and narration. These videos have been so well presented and we are so grateful for the excellent communication. My sincere appreciation from Melbourne, Australia.
-
Our little "Perseverance" rover is really living up to its name. ❤ ❤ ❤
-
finally, a step by step in slide show that explains how and what is going on, Thanks for sharing
-
Watching this video feels like we have directly gone to Mars... Thanks NASA 💞 Love From INDIA 🇮🇳
-
Having some of the fabric from the Wright Bros plane on the rover was very cool. Looking at both images made me think how far we've come in such a short time. Mankind does have the intelligence to overcome many obstacles if they put their mind to it. Awesome. Amazing video.
-
What a beautiful touch to take some of the fabric from the Wright Brothers' plane. Not only has it now flown on two planets, it's done it in two different types of atmospheres... it's also travelled through space... Those two brilliant men could never have imagined how far the fruit of their endeavours would travel, and where...!
-
I love how perseverance is not alone with ingenuity as its neighbor on Mars.
-
After a long tiring shift here I am on my cozy bed .Thanks for taking me to the Mars virtually.. 🙏
-
Wow...this really gives perspective on who we are and where we're going to go. Thank you for such amazing content.
