NASA drops surprisingly intense mission trailer for Perseverance's arrival on Mars

The Perseverance rover is only a couple of months away from completing its 300 million mile journey to the surface of Mars, and NASA wants you to know about it.

On Monday night, the space agency dropped a one-minute "mission trailer" that looks less like an advert for a highly anticipated scientific event and more like a teaser for a new Ridley Scott movie — heart-pounding music and all.

Should Perseverance's landing in Mars' Jezero Crater be successful, the little robot will be tasked with collecting climate and geology information, rock and soil samples, and signs of microbial life on the red planet. It launched back in July and is due to land on 18 Feb. 2021, with live commentary of the event kicking off at 11:15am PST on nasa.gov/live.

Godspeed, rover.

  1. NASA makes great videos. I just wish they could put things in the sky instead of rollover delays.

    1. Of course, many things could happen but the last rover landed just like that, so I believe this will be the same

    5. There is no Mars, its just an imaginary planet that good folks at Nasa cinema company made up so people on flat earth think that someday we will travel off planet have a chance of survival in case a threat from space will come to flat earth and obolderate all human kind, but there is also the moon and some other crap

    1. This is an animation of the landing.

      But there are other Rovers on Mars already with similar Landing sequences from previous years.
