Initially, NASA scientists thought there was no damage to Perseverance and would soon launch an "expedition" to Mars.
Perseverance entered the atmosphere of Mars this week after a journey of about seven months. Mars is able to touch the ground about 2040 million kilometers away from the earth.
Earlier, JPL's landing scientist Al Chen described the last 7 minutes of landing as the most risky and frightening. "Perseverance includes an six-wheeled search vehicle," he said. The vehicle has all the technical equipment needed to take pictures of the surface of Mars, analyze the nature of the soil, and send those pictures and information. The vehicle has been sent in a 'capsule' with the spacecraft to avoid any damage during the high-speed collision on the ground. After reaching the atmosphere of Mars. In the last 7 minutes, the vehicle-along with the capsule will crash and slowly stop at one place. This is the scariest and most complicated time.
However, the scientists said that they have been able to cope with the shock. After their expectation, the capsule will be opened and the 6-wheeler will come out from inside and start its search. Now NASA scientists are waiting for him.
