It has taken a while for the videos to make their way to Earth. Skycrane maneuver has started … … about 20 meters off the surface.” “We’re getting signals from - tango delta.” “Touchdown confirmed - Perseverance safely on the surface of Mars, ready to begin seeking the signs of past life.” We have started our constant velocity accordion, which means we are conducting the Skycrane - about to conduct the Skycrane maneuver. Velocity is about 75 meters per second at an altitude of about a kilometer off the surface of Mars.” “We have completed our terrain relative navigation, current speed is about 30 meters per second, altitude of about 300 meters off the surface of Mars. We are currently performing the divert maneuver.
We have confirmation that the backshall has separated. Current velocity is 83 meters per second at about 2.6 kilometers from the surface of Mars. We have confirmation that the landing vision system has produced a valid solution, and part of terrain relative navigation. Our current velocity is about 90 meters per second at an altitude of 4.2 kilometers. We’re coming up on the initialization of terrain relative navigation, and subsequently, the timing of the landing engines. Perseverance is continuing to descend on the parachute. Current velocity is about 100 meters per second, 6.6 kilometers above the surface. Current velocity is 145 meters per second at an altitude of about 10 - 9 and a half kilometers above the surface.” “Nav filter converged - solution, 3.3 meters per second, altitude 7.4 kilometers.” “Now has radar lock on the ground. This allows both the radar and the cameras to get their first look at the surface. Our current velocity is 150 meters per second at an altitude of about 12 kilometers from the surface of Mars.” “Heat shield prepped.” “Perseverance has slowed to subsonic speeds and the heat shield has been separated. “We are starting to straighten up and fly right maneuver, where the spacecraft will jettison the entry bounce masses in preparation for a parachute deploy and to roll over to give the radar a better look at the ground.” “- Indicates chute deployed.” “The navigation has confirmed that the parachute has deployed, and we are seeing significant deceleration in the velocity. Transcript NASA’s Mars Landing, All the Way Down NASA released video from cameras aboard the Perseverance mission as it landed on the surface of Mars.
