๐ช Perseverance Rover Just Ran a Full Marathon on Mars โ Twice as Fast as Opportunity
NASA's Perseverance rover hit 26.2 miles (42.195 km) of total driving on Mars on June 14, completing the equivalent of a marathon in just 5 years and 4 months. Its predecessor Opportunity needed over 11 years to cover the same ground. NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter even captured Perseverance from orbit at the milestone using its HiRISE camera. What is next for the rover as it pushes deeper into ancient terrain west of Jezero Crater?
