Breaking News: NASA Unveils Video of Perseverance Rover’s Mars Landing

MARS (trfnews.i234.me) NASA has just released video of the Perserverance rover landing on Mars last week.
we are super excited to actually share with all of you video imagery of perseverance landing on the surface of mars please roll the video starting the straighten up and fly right maneuver where the spacecraft will jettison the entry balance masses in preparation for parachute deploy and to roll over to give the radar a better look at the ground application indicate shoot deploy the navigation has confirmed that the parachute has deployed and we are seeing significant deceleration in the velocity our current velocity is 480 meters per second at an altitude of about 12 kilometers from the surface of mars heat shields up press advancement has slowed to subsonic speeds and the heat shield has been separated this allows both the radar and the cameras to get their first look at the surface current velocity is 145 meters per second and an altitude of about 10 km 9 and a half kilometers above the surface now filter converge lastly solution 3.3 meters per second altitude 7.4 kilometers now has radar lock on the ground current velocity is about 100 meters per second 6.6 kilometers of the surface starts perseverance is continuing to descend on the parachute we we’re commenting on the initialization of terrain relative navigation and subsequently the priming of the landing engines our current velocity is about 90 meters per second at an altitude of 4.2 kilometers obvious valid we have confirmation that the land division system has produced a valid solution and part of touring relative navigation priming tpa is nominal we have timing of the landing engines back shelf current velocity is 83 meters per second at about 2.6 kilometers from the surface to mars we have confirmation that the back shell has separated we are currently performing the divert maneuver current velocity is about 75 meters per second at an altitude of about a kilometer across the surface of mars here in safety bravo we have completed our terrain relative navigation current speed is about 30 meters per second altitude about 300 meters off the surface of mars we have started our constant velocity accordion which means we are conducting the sky crane about to conduct the flight crane maneuver skyteam maneuver has started about 20 meters off the surface we’re getting signals from mro faithfully on the surface of mars ready to begin seeking the stands of past life [Applause] it gives me goof bumps every time i i see it just just amazing
