The US space agency NASA is releasing a high-definition panoramic image of Mars, which the robot took “diligently”. Scree, hills and horizon can be seen in it, but small details as small as three millimeters can also be seen.
D.He is American Round “Perseverance” sent a high-resolution panorama image from Mars. The US space agency NASA announced Wednesday (local time) that the robot rotated 360 degrees on its surface with a mast-attached camera rotating and taking pictures. A panorama image was created from 142 photographs taken during the process, with only three to five millimeters of detail near the rover and two to three meters away.
The film shows the scree, mountains and horizons surrounding the 45-kilometer-diameter dry lake “Jessero Gorge” that the rover will explore over the next two years. Previously, “Perseverance” (in German: diligence) had already released a first panorama image, spectacular video of its landing, and the first sound recordings from the surface of the Red Planet.
The nearly 1,000-kilogram rover, the size of a small car, landed on Mars last week – after 203 days of flight and 472 million kilometers of travel. The $ 2.5 billion (approximately 2 2.2 billion) rover took eight years to grow and build. He must search for traces of previous microbial life on Mars and study the planet’s climate and geography.
“Perseverance” is already the fifth rover NASA To Mars – The last “Curiosity” arrived there in 2012. Earlier Mars had also sent vast images from planet to Earth.
