![]() ![]() Lockheed Martin Space designed and manufactured the Mars Helicopter Delivery System. AeroVironment Inc., Qualcomm, and SolAero also provided design assistance and major vehicle components. ![]() NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley, and NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, provided significant flight performance analysis and technical assistance during Ingenuity's development. It is supported by NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter was built by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, which also manages the project for NASA Headquarters. NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has sent back its first image (s) from the surface of the Red Planet. The backshell and parachute helped protect the rover in deep space and during its fiery descent toward the Martian surface. NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover took a selfie with the Ingenuity helicopter, seen here about 13 feet (3.9 meters) from the rover. ![]() Mastcam-Z is a pair of cameras located high on the rovers mast. The tangle of cables seen streaming out from the top of the backshell, and coated with Martian dust on the surface, are high-strength suspension lines that connect the backshell to Perseverance’s supersonic parachute (upper left). NASAs Mars Perseverance rover acquired this image using its Right Mastcam-Z camera. Engineers working on the Mars Sample Return program requested images be taken from an aerial perspective of the components because they may provide insight into the components’ performance during the rover’s entry, descent, and landing on Feb. NASAs Mars Perseverance rover acquired this image using its onboard Right Navigation Camera (Navcam).The camera is located high on the rovers mast and aids in driving. New images taken by NASA’s Perseverance rover may show signs of what was once a rollicking river on Mars, one that was deeper and faster-moving than scientists have ever seen evidence for in the past. 21 - 27, 2021) of the Perseverance rover mission on Mars.

This image of Perseverance’s backshell sitting upright on the surface of Jezero Crater was collected from an altitude of 26 feet (8 meters) by NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter during its 26 th flight at Mars on April 19, 2022. This photo was selected by public vote and featured as 'Image of the Week' for Week 41 (Nov. NASAs Mars Perseverance rovers descent stage was recently stacked atop the rover at Kennedy Space Center, and the two were placed in the back shell that will help protect them on their journey to Mars. Heres the Image of the Week as voted on by the public. ![]()
