"NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance mission
captured thrilling footage of its rover landing in Mars' Jezero Crater
on Feb. 18, 2021. The real footage in this video was captured by several
cameras that are part of the rover's entry, descent, and landing suite.
The views include a camera looking down from the spacecraft's descent
stage (a kind of rocket-powered jet pack that helps fly the rover to its
landing site), a camera on the rover looking up at the descent stage, a
camera on the top of the aeroshell (a capsule protecting the rover)
looking up at that parachute, and a camera on the bottom of the rover
looking down at the Martian surface. The audio embedded in the video
comes from the mission control call-outs during entry, descent, and
landing.
