Perseverance rover’s landing gear is captured in stunning photographs by a Mars helicopter, Ingenuity.
The images may help NASA and the European Space Agency with their next Mars sample return mission. The 4-pound (1.8 kilos) Ingenuity photographed the parachute and backshell and NASA’s Perseverance rover land inside the Red Planet’s Jezero Crater on Feb. 18, 2021 during its most recent journey, which took place on April 19.
