Les paysages qui entourent Perseverance sont vraiment majestueux ces temps-ci. Le rover remonte le lit asséché de la rivière Neretva, qui perce le rempart du cratère Jezero, rempart qu'on voit ici en arrière-plan. Il s'élève à plusieurs centaines de mètres de haut !

Le rover Perseverance continue de longer le lit asséché de la rivière Neretva, qui alimentait autrefois le lac du cratère Jezero. Les rides d'eau ont été remplacées par des dunes de sable, où repose Ingenuity 🚁.

"Now, thanks to a new, immersive visualization produced on a NASA supercomputer, viewers can plunge into the event horizon, a black hole’s point of no return."
New location for #Perseverance on Sol 1144, RMC 52.1950.
This may be the last location visible by #Ingenuity's RTE camera, as the rover has now reached the theoretical limit of its field-of-view (cyan line). The #MarsHelicopter has been programmed to capture one RTE image every sol for as long as it is able to wake up every sol perform its routine of gathering environmental and system data, as a stationary testbed.
The slope of the southern Neretva Vallis riverbank appears steepening at this new location. This may be the start of the hardest part of the descent to the ancient riverbed, on the way to the geologically interesting rock formation Bright Angel, the next science target for #Perseverance.

If Musk will have his way, expensive spend thrift space con will convert earth into the perfect lab for a Mars colony, then we can save on the travel expenses
Four new proposals for Earth Science missions have been selected for the next step!
The proposals study gases in the troposphere and mesosphere, measure ocean surface currents and winds, observe the structure of ecosystems and glaciers, and monitor greenhouse gases.
Of these, two will be selected after further design work with an aim to launch in 2030 or 2032 - this is one of the first steps in a long process!
New location for #Perseverance on Sol 1143, RMC 52.1700, presumably still within #Ingenuity's field-of-view. It appears there may be as many as 3 frames of the rover crossing the FOV of the color RTE camera of the #MarsHelicopter, now a stationary testbed collecting images, temperature and other data on a solly basis from its final location at Vallinor Hills.
