The perseverance was launched again, and the first photo was sent back. What exactly does Mars look like?

The perseverance Martian detector took the first Mars photo after the signal was interrupted. The scenery is amazing.

Log in to Mars and take the first photo!

Because Mars has been blocked by the sun recently, this Mars probe at the same size as the car and the US Aerospace Administration NASA has to suspend operation.

On October 22, 2021, NASA's perseverance was on the ground on Yezero's meteorite, using one of the navigation cameras to shoot the surrounding scene. Three days later, the task team posted this photo on Twitter. (Picture source: Twitter NASA/JPL-CALTECH/ASU)

The Perseverance of the United States Space Agency (NASA) Mars detectors finally went online after the first time the communication was interrupted by the "beads of the solar system" and continued to work on Mars. But even more exciting is that the perseverance was passed back to the earth as soon as it came online.

In the past two weeks, because Mars, Earth, and Suns happened to be connected to the front line. From the earth, Mars will be blocked by the sun. The perseverance and other detectors on Mars can only be suspended. Fire, Earth, and Japan are connected into a front line and are called "solar beads". When Mars and Earth run to both sides of the sun, the sun in the middle will affect the transmission of signals between the earth and Mars, so During this period, it is difficult for NASA or other space centers to send instructions to the detector on Mars.

However, Mars has now been "run" from behind the sun. NASA Jet Prosperity Laboratory in Southern California, USA, has also resumed communications, and the perseverance of "heavy palms". As soon as the perseverance was "awakened", he quickly explored the Yezuro meteorite. This meteorite pit was about 28 miles wide (45 kilometers). Hundreds of millions of years ago, there was a lake and a river Delta here.

Another photo taken by perseverance on October 22, 2021. The task team was published on Twitter on October 25, 2021 (picture source: Twitter: Twitter NASA/JPL-Caltech).

"I have been working online, and now stopped next to these two beautiful rocks. Currently doing some work, climate research, chemical experiments, and update the software by the way." The task team released on Monday (October 25). This passage is on the official account of Perseverance.

There are two photos of the recent perseverance that have passed through the terrain in this release. Since its recovery work has taken a lot of photos, you can enjoy them from the official website.

Perseverance landed on February 18. Its main task is to find signs of ancient life on Mars and collect samples in order to bring back to the earth in the future. At present, the perseverance has been collected and stored in the primitive Mars material samples to move towards the goal of realizing the first time human recovery of interstellar samples.

Log in to follow the perseverance, and there is a small helicopter named "Witary". Its role is to verify that it is feasible to verify the air exploration in Mars. The Wiveries have also resumed work, and the 14th Mars flight was completed on Sunday (October 24).

After the first five technical demonstration flights were performed, the wit was switched to the extension task to show the search potential of the Mars rotor machine. Recently, this helicopter weighing about 4 pounds (1.8 kg) has been investigating Mars terrain for perseverance. So far, 1.66 miles (2.67 kilometers) have been advanced on the ground of Yezera meteorite.

Perseverance, nicknamed "Bosss", is a Mars car with the same size as the car. Its design is the purpose of exploring the Jezuro meteor pit on Mars. This is also the NASA "Mars 2020" task plan. Part. It was manufactured by the American Jet Promotion Lab, and was launched at 11:50 on July 30, 2020. At 20:55 on February 18, 2021, it was confirmed to successfully land on Mars. As of March 25, 2022, the perseverance has been active on Mars since landing in Mars since landing in Mars (400 Earth Day). After the perseverance landed, NASA named it landing location to Octavia E. Butler landing point.

The design of the perseverance is similar to the "Curious" of the previous generation of Mars, and has been upgraded and improved on its basis. It is equipped with 7 groups of scientific instruments, 19 cameras and 2 microphones. At the same time, it also carried a small helicopter "Wisdom" to Mars, which is an experimental aircraft and a technology display. The Witary first flight on Mars on April 19, 2021. As of now, it has completed 19 flights.

The task goal of perseverance includes the ancient environment that supports the existence of life on Mars, and find evidence that the microorganisms have existed from it; collect the rocks and soil samples stored on the surface of Mars; test the oxygen output in Mars atmosphere, prepare for future manned tasksEssenceBy: Mike Wall
