NASA has released a “mission trailer” dedicated to its Perseverance rover.
The rover is a few months away from completing its 300-million-mile journey to Mars, and to mark that momentous occasion, NASA decided to release a video straight out of a sci-fi movie, complete with soaring music and intense animations.
The animation shows everything from the arrival to NASA’s parachute deployment and the landing of the rover.
NASA will be providing live coverage of the event on 18 February 2021 on nasa.gov/live. If the landing on the surface of Mars is successful, the rover will search for signs of life and collect rock and dust samples from the Red Planet to bring back to Earth.
