Perseverance Rover’s Descent and Touchdown on Mars (Official NASA Video)
NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance mission captured thrilling footage of its rover landing in Mars’ Jezero Crater on Feb. 18, 2021. The real footage in this video was captured by several cameras that are part of the rover’s entry, descent, and landing suite. The views include a camera looking down from the spacecraft’s descent stage (a kind of rocket-powered jet pack that helps fly the rover to its landing site), a camera on the rover looking up at the descent stage, a camera on the top of the aeroshell (a capsule protecting the rover) looking up at that parachute, and a camera on the bottom of the rover looking down at the Martian surface.
The audio embedded in the video comes from the mission control call-outs during entry, descent, and landing.

Great job to everyone involved, shame about the audio. We’ll just have to substitute Rick Astley again.
Fly safe.
Forgive them they forgot to replace the microphone of appolo era
No
No audio with video cause it’s kinda impossible right now and it would take pretty long time to send back.
Those are just still images multiply to much some fps I suppose , I’m not an expert

Unbelievable.
…in its banality …
Nope iits beliveable but super duper cool
@Peter Bondy triggered , lol , … did someone question your faith ?
Why care if someone doesn’t beLIEve ?
Does it somehow weaken you position ?
Hmmmmm ?
@sadelbrid triggered , conditioned response .
Literally unbelievable…
What a time to be alive! Congratulations to NASA and JPL and humans!!!
yes
Yes
Mark rover
This is awesome.
MARK
actually seeing the skycrane booster platform hovering completely stable while it lowers the rover down to the surface was one of the most surreal things I’ve ever seen and it highlights how much work these guys put in to making every single detail run so smoothly like that completely automatically. seeing those extra 2 camera views to capture the manoeuvre was really everything I hoped it would be and more
@BobEvans yeah BUT 1) why is there no flame coming out of the skycranes engines?
and 2) why is the mars sky blue?
Headcrab lives on Mars.
The craziness of the idea is only surpassed by how well it works.
It was so surreal _you had to imagine it:_ you certainly couldn’t see it!
Where are new half-life videos???
0:14 The pattern on the parachute is an “Easter egg” — decoded, it says “DARE MIGHTY THINGS” and gives the coordinates of JPL.
How do u decode that?
@Guninder Sidhu There are four rings of 80 segments each. Read the four circles clockwise, beginning with the white segments after the large red group in the center.
red = 1, white = 0; Each group of 10 bits is a character; the code is A=1, B=2, …
There is a thread on twitter with pictures and detailed explanations.
So amazing. I followed this “live” = 10 minutes delayed. But seeing it here is stunning. Again. No words.
OK. 10 minutes delay..
Watching it 10th time have noticed a funny little detail how the rover cutely deployed it’s weels seconds before touchdown
So this is what living in history feels like.
Bingo
Рогозину привет 😉😉😉
Why is So many people So unsupportive and i realized we just moved through a pandemic
Strange, I thought it was the future!
You felt history the day you were born and just alive during a pandemic pretty sure you’ve been feeling it for a while?
Speechless…. one has to admire the genius and dedication of the NASA peoples.
Congratulations to NASA, JPL and all the engineers who put the hard a** work into this mission and the Rover! Thank you all and thanks for all the extra camera angles! That was amazing.
Love the channel!
actually ridding the oceans of plastic or the atmosphere of excessive co2 would be more amazing but yay space
@bamwa You really do make it seem easy huh?
This has to be one of the most incredible things I have witnessed in my entire life. I’m so glad I’m alive right now
Это было круто, молодцы!
Placing my mark on this incredible and history piece of memory…..
Imagine if future “we” are the aliens visiting earth all this while for something
Навіть не віриться, що ми це бачимо вживу!!!!
Неймовірно! Нереально! І трохи фантастично!
Дякую усім причетним до цього…
Просто фантастика , как же это невероятно ! Робот на ДРУГОЙ ПЛАНЕТЕ , ЗА МИЛЛИОНЫ КИЛЛОМЕТРОВ РАБОТАЕТ НА НАШЕ БЛАГО ! А его жизнь мы как стрим смотрим
Crazy how it looks like a desert here on Earth for the most part, can’t wait to hear about the soil samples
im gonna leave my comment here so that i could remeber when im older that i was here, watching this
isn’t it crazy how smart people are like bruh all the people involved in this are complete geniuses
@Relatively Irrelevant hi flat earther
@E Cola alsmpaü
literal rocket scientists!
Yeah better than North Korea propaganda
@Relatively Irrelevant Zzzz go back to sleep
Aliens are probably saying “look it’s a ufo!”
Seeing HD video captured on another planet is a surreal experience.
Too hd
@Eduardo Martinez are you realy complaining that the video are in HD ?
@Eduardo Martinez no.
@Eduardo Martinez Technology, soon they might do a full 360° recording and we’ll experience it in VR
