hello everyone welcome to mars again your huge response in previous mars in 4k videos
inspired us to create to mars in 4k update 2021 part 3.
in this video we will see landing of mars rover perseverance few of its very first
high-resolution photos and other unseen and rare footages so sit tight and enjoy
this image shows thrill of mars perseverance rover's landing during landing the rover plunged
through the thin martian atmosphere at more than 12 000 miles per hour a parachute and power
descent slowed the rover down to about two miles per hour this is known as the sky crane maneuver
the descent stage lowered the rover on three cables to land softly on six wheels at zero crater
this high-resolution still image is part of a video taken by several cameras
as nasa's perseverance rover touchdown on mars on february 18 2021 a camera aboard the descent stage
captured this shot a key objective for perseverance's mission on mars is astrobiology
including the search for signs of ancient microbial life the rover will characterize
the planet's geology and past climate pave the way for human exploration of the red planet and be the
first mission to collect and cash martian rock and rigoleth this illustration shows zero crater the
landing site of the mars 2020 perseverance rover as it may have looked billions of years ago on
mars when it was a lake an inlet and outlet are also visible on either side of the lake
this is the first 360-degree panorama taken by masscam z a zoomable pair of cameras
aboard nasa's perseverance mars rover the panorama was stitched together on earth
from 142 individual images taken on saw the third martian day of the mission february 21 2021
the top of the butte in this scene from the mast camera on nasa's curiosity mars rover
stands about 16 feet above the rover and about 82 feet east southeast of the rover
masscam's right eye camera took the component images of this mosaic
the site is in the scenic murray buttes area where individual buttes and mesas were assigned numbers
this one is m9a the average slope on the prominent ridge on the left side is more than 40 degrees
while the average slope on the right side of the highest point is about 30 degrees
this panorama made up of 122 individual images stitched together was taken by
nasa's curiosity mars rover on november 18 2020 the 2946th martian day or saul of the mission
this view combines several frames taken by the mast camera on nasa's mars rover curiosity
looking into a valley to the west from the eastern side of a dune at the eastern end of the valley
the team operating curiosity has chosen this valley as a likely route toward midterm and
long-term science destinations the foreground dune at a location called dingo gap is about three feet
high in the middle and tapered its south and north ends onto low scarps on either side of the gap
the component images were taken during early afternoon local solar time the center of the view
is about 10 degrees south of straight west the left edge is about 20 degrees
west of straight south the right edge is northwest the largest of the dark rocks on the sand in
the right half of the scene are about two feet across this panorama taken on february 20th 2021
by the navigation cameras or nave cams aboard nasa's perseverance mars rover
was stitched together from six individual images after they were sent back to earth
the shaler outcrop is dramatically layered as seen in this mosaic of telephoto images
from the right mast camera mast cam on nasa's mars rover curiosity
in some portions of the outcrop patterns in the layering provide evidence of stream flow

nasa's mars rover curiosity used its mass camera to take the images combined into this mosaic of
the drill area called john klein the label drill indicates where the rover ultimately performed
its first sample drilling shown on this mosaic are the four targets that were considered for drilling
all of which were analyzed by curiosity's instrument suite at brock inlear data from
the alpha particle x-ray spectrometer and images from the mars hand lens imager were collected
the target wernick was brushed by the dust removal tool with complementary apxs molle and chemistry
and camera analyzes target thundercloud was the subject of the drill checkout test known as
percuss on rock the target drill was interrogated by apxs molly and chemcam this view from the mass
cam on nasa's curiosity mars rover shows a network of two-tone mineral veins at an area
called garden city on lower mount sharp the veins combine light and dark material the veins at this
site just to heights of up to about 2.5 inches above the surrounding rock and their wits range
up to about 1.5 inches mineral veins such as these form where fluids move through fractured rocks
depositing minerals in the fractures and affecting chemistry of the surrounding rock
in this case the veins have been more resistant to erosion than the surrounding host rock this
scene is a mosaic combining 28 images taken with mastcam's right eye camera
this view of a martian rock target called harrison merges images from two cameras on nasa's curiosity
mars rover to provide both color and microscopic detail curiosity inspected the rock's appearance
and composition the remote micro imager of the rover's chemistry and camera instrument obtained
the detail shown in the center of this view the right eye telephoto lens camera of the
rover's mast camera instrument obtained the color information and wider context
chem cam's laser and spectrometers provided composition information harrison bears elongated
light-colored crystals in a darker matrix some of the crystals are about 0.4 inch in size
based on composition information gathered from an array of chemcam laser shots on harrison
the elongated crystals are likely feldspars and the matrix is pyroxene-dominated
this mineral association is typical of basaltic igneous rocks
the texture provides compelling evidence for igneous rocks at gale crater where curiosity
is on a traverse to reach the lower slopes of mount sharp near the center of the crater
large-scale cross bedding in the sandstone of this ridge on a lower slope of mars mount
sharp is common in petrified sand dunes the scene combines multiple images taken with both cameras
of the mast camera mass cam on curiosity it spans from east at left to south southwest
sets of bedding laminations lie at angles to each other
such cross betting is common in wind deposited sandstone of the u.s southwest
this approximate true color image taken by the panoramic camera on the mars exploration rover
opportunity shows the impact crater known as endurance scientists are eager to explore
endurance for clues to the red planet's history the crater's exposed walls provide a window to
what lies beneath the surface of mars and thus what geologic processes occurred there in the past
while recent studies of the smaller crater nicknamed eagle revealed an evaporating body
of salty water that crater was not deep enough to indicate what came before the water endurance may
be able to help answer this question but the challenge is getting to the scientific targets
most of the craters rocks are embedded in vertical cliffs rover planners are
currently developing strategies to overcome this obstacle endurance is roughly 130 meters across
this scene shows nasa's curiosity mars rover at a location called windjana where the rover found
rocks containing manganese oxide minerals which require abundant water and strongly oxidizing
conditions to form in front of the rover are two holes from the rover sample collection drill
and several dark toned features that have been cleared of dust these flat features are erosion
resistant fracture fills containing manganese oxides the discovery of these materials suggests
the martian atmosphere might once have contained higher abundances of free oxygen than it does now
this 360 degree panorama of a location called teal ridge was captured on mars by the mast camera
or mass cam on nasa's curiosity rover by driving up the side of teal ridge the rover
was able to reach rocks from the second of three subunits within the clay bearing unit
that are exposed in a valley-like region of mount sharp which curiosity is
ascending
