NASA’s Perseverance Drives on Mars’ Terrain for First Time
NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover performed its first drive on Mars March 4, covering 21.3 feet (6.5 meters) across the Martian landscape. The drive served as a mobility test that marks just one of many milestones as team members check out and calibrate every system, subsystem, and instrument on Perseverance. Once the rover begins pursuing its science goals, regular commutes extending 656 feet (200 meters) or more are expected.
“When it comes to wheeled vehicles on other planets, there are few first-time events that measure up in significance to that of the first drive,” said Anais Zarifian, Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mobility test bed engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “This was our first chance to ‘kick the tires’ and take Perseverance out for a spin. The rover’s six-wheel drive responded superbly. We are now confident our drive system is good to go, capa ....

During it s first week on the planet s surface, NASA s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover and its Earthbound team has been carefully test driving all onboard systems. This culminated in a more literal test drive as the rover took it s first short foray across the surface the Martian landscape and delivered further historic footage from its highly sophisticated onboard cameras. Covering 21.3 feet (6.5 meters), the drive lasted 33 minutes and produced images of the rover s own landing area.
