Almost a decade of development and waiting has finally led to the moment the world has been waiting for. NASA\u2019s Mars 2020 mission was launched onto its journey to Mars back in July of 2020 and teams have monitored its safety all the way there. Now the rover and teams of researchers back on earth get to start looking for signs of life on Mars.<\/p>\n

At about 3:50 PM Est, NASA\u2019s Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter began to enter the Martian atmosphere. This 7-minute journey filled with tasks that needed to be conducted perfectly to ensure a safe landing on the Red Planet\u2019s surface. <\/p>\n

Of course, NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory\u2019s expertise in landing spacecraft on other planets prevailed and at 3:56 PM Est Perseverance safely touched down on the surface of Mars. Starting its 2-year mission of exploring Jezero Crater for signs of ancient life.<\/p>\n

Praises and congratulations came in from around the space industry, from leaders of the different parts of NASA to SpaceX and ULA.<\/p>\n
