Perseverance Rover Lands on Mars [PDF]
The Electrochemical Society Interface, 2021 On February 18, 2021, at 3:55 p.m. EST, NASA’s Perseverance rover landed at the Jezero Crater on Mars. Perseverance is NASA’s most advanced rover to date and traveled 293 million miles (472 million kilometers) over 203 days; an average speed of over 60,000 miles per hour! After several weeks of testing, Perseverance will begin a two-year exploration of
