Humans could make it to Mars one day, but for now, our AR experience may be as close as you can get. See the red planet through @NASAPersevere's eyes:

@NatGeo @NASA @NASAPersevere @instagram Hi guys. What brand of cameras did you put on the rover? What sensor at least? The bigger ones. Thanks.

@dawoodfarsi

@NatGeo @NASA @NASAPersevere @instagram incredible human achievement, these clips will be reference and subject to many studies in future missions and discoveries

@NatGeo @NASA @NASAPersevere @instagram 👏👏👏👏

@NatGeo @NASAPersevere @instagram I think the helo should be nicknamed Stephanie from the movie Short Circuit.

@NatGeo Hmmmm , आज experience किया!

ICYMI: Journey behind the scenes with @NASA to explore how @NASAPersevere is giving Mars its close-up in #OverheardNatGeo

@NatGeo

“These are days that I’ve waited years for—it almost doesn’t seem real,” says Adam Nelessen of @NASAJPL. “It looks like it’s straight out of a science fiction movie”

@NatGeo

Take a look! 🤩 #CountdownToMars

@NatGeo

Onboard cameras captured pictures and video of the Perseverance rover's successful landing—and the first audio recorded on Mars

@NatGeo

Today at 2pm ET, @NASA is expected to release first-of-its-kind video from @NASAPersevere's Feb. 18 touchdown on Mars #CountdownToMars

@NatGeo

Human interest in Mars is ageless. Take a visual tour through our evolving fascination with the red planet

@NatGeo

@NASAPersevere

Ingenuity, the Mars Helicopter I carry, is working as expected. I’m currently charging it, but once I set it down, it’ll rely solely on its solar panels. If it survives the brutally cold Martian nights, the team will attempt flight. #CountdownToMars

@NatGeo

We ❤️ rocks too!

@NASAPersevere

I love rocks. Look at these right next to my wheel. Are they volcanic or sedimentary? What story do they tell? Can’t wait to find out.

@NatGeo

Over the coming weeks, as the data are downloaded and processed, NASA will release the sights and sounds of a rover plunging to an alien surface

@NASAPersevere

Where am I now? Check out this interactive map to zoom in and explore my landing site:



And for the ground level view, my first images are here, with many more to come in the days ahead:

This 👇We get this question so often, and there are many answers, and I love Emily’s eloquence and compassion here.

@NatGeo

Perseverance isn't just in the name

@NatGeoTV

The rover's journey from Earth was a long & complicated one. From the first pieces of construction to the "7 minutes of terror" landing sequence, every component needed to be just right in order to succeed. Built For Mars: The Perseverance Rover premieres tonight at 8/7c.
