Called the state-of-the-art man-made astrobiology lab sent into space, the Perseverance Rover has successfully landed on Mars. The US space agency NASA's rover completed the landing at 3pm Bangladesh time on Thursday after a long seven-month journey.
The rover landed in a huge hole near the equator of Mars. Scientists have named the hole Jejero. The rover will try to find out if life ever existed on Mars, NASA said.
The six-wheeled Mars rover will orbit Mars for at least two years. There will be excavation of stones and collection of samples and information.
Shortly after landing, Perseverance sent several black and white images from the surface of Mars. In one of them, the shadow of the rover can be seen on the rocky surface of Mars. NASA has released a photo taken by Perseverance.
Meanwhile, after the rover landed on Mars, NASA workers were overjoyed. U.S. President Joe Biden observed the landing of the rover and congratulated those concerned.
