NASA’s new Mars rover hits dusty red road, 1st trip 21 feet

India TV News  

NASA’s newest Mars rover hit the dusty red road this week, putting 21 feet on the odometer in its first test drive. “This is going to be like the Odyssey, adventures along the way, hopefully, no Cyclops, and I’m sure there will be stories aplenty written about it.” In its first drive, Perseverance went forward 13 feet, took a 150-degree left turn, then backed up 8 feet. Perseverance — NASA’s biggest and most elaborate rover yet — became the ninth U.S. spacecraft to successfully land on Mars on Feb. 18. NASA scientists, meanwhile, announced Friday that they’ve named Perseverance’s touchdown site in honor of the late science fiction writer Octavia E. Butler, who grew up next door to JPL in Pasadena.
