Mars Perseverance Rover Sends Back First Color Images After Landing

Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech

NASA’s Mars Perseverance Rover, which landed on the Martian Surface on February 18th, has sent back some of its first full color images. These images are not from the MASTCAM-Z camera system, but from the hazard avoidance cameras.

Perseverance is still testing and “unfolding” its equipment in preparation for its upcoming mission. More images and video of the landing are expected to be released in a few days.
