The car-size rover Perseverance, launched in July 2020, successfully touched down on the Mars surface Thursday afternoon becoming NASA’s fifth rover to land on the red planet. The success kicks off the agency’s most ambitious mission yet to examine whether life ever existed on Mars.

NASA’s team of scientists who navigated the landing of rover Perseverance on the surface of Mars broke out in applause as the device made contact with the planet after being in orbit since July.

Retired astronaut Scott Kelly tested the limits of putting humans in space when he spent a year in orbit to test the effects on his own body. As NASA’s Perseverance rover prepared to touch down on Mars, Kelly joined LX News to talk about the goal of getting a human mission to Mars by 2030.

NASA’s Perseverance rover touched down on Mars in a feat of human engineering and science. But… how does it work? LX News host Tabitha Lipkin helps explain how the rover is built to fulfill its mission to explore Mars and collect samples to return to Earth.

The Perseverance Rover isn’t the only thing landing on Mars Thursday. Hitching a ride on the rover is the first helicopter designed to fly on another planet.

The cliché is three times a charm. And the Mars Rover Perseverance is hoping the third try works. Two other Mars landers attempted to listen to the Red Planet but both microphones failed. Perseverance has on board two microphones. The first is on the left side of the Rover. It’s called the EDL – entry decent and landing. It will…
