Video summary:
It took about 8 years to complete the Mars2020 Perseverance Rover here on Earth. Built at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. It was then shipped to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where it was launched. It took 7 months to get to Mars. Components of the spacecraft include Cruise Stage, Backshell, Descent Stage, Perseverance and the Heat Shield. Reaching the surface of Mars is called EDL: Entry, Descent and Landing. This must be done autonomously. The rover's main purpose is to search for signs of life. Scientific instruments include SuperCam, MastCam-Z, MEDA, SHERLOC, WATSON, PIXL, MOXIE and RIMFAX. The rover also brought along a helicopter called Ingenuity. This is the first helicopter to fly on another planet!
