A close up of the latest abrasion patch on Mars. The diameter of the patch is ~5cm (2 inches). Perseverance rover acquired this image using its SHERLOC WATSON camera, located on the turret at the end of the rover's robotic arm.

This image was acquired on April 18, 2025 (Sol 1479) at the local mean solar time of 12:54:46.

Perseverance Rover continues its walkabout outside the crater rim on sol 1477 (April 16, 2025) with a drive of 92.5 meters (303.6 ft) with a climb of 11.5 meters (37.7 ft) to site 72.542. Attached is one of the post drive navigation camera images looking at a ridge it examined a couple of weeks ago. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech.

Two SHERLOC WATSON images of the latest abrasion patch on Mars. This patch is at site 72.0 and imaged during sol 1473 (April 12, 2025). For scale the patch has a diameter of 5cm (~2 inches). The camera is located on the turret at the end of the rover's robotic arm, so can be placed close to the targets. Image Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Another day on Mars, another drive for Perseverance rover. This drive was completed during mission sol 1472 April 11, 2025). Arriving at site 72.0.

Attached is a roughly processed / cropped post-drive L-NavCam composite image from 6 tiles, the drive data, and screen capture of the updated mission map. The traverse distance was 14.5 meters (47.5 ft) due west. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UofA.

Meet the 25th Martian sample collected by NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover – “Sapphire Canyon” – a sample taken from a vein-filled rock named “Cheyava Falls.” The arrowhead-shaped rock contains compelling features that may help answer whether Mars was home to microscopic life in the distant past.

[Les sons de #Mars] L'instrument #SuperCam à bord du rover #Perseverance embarque un microphone dont le total des enregistrements dépasse les 30 heures. Que nous révèlent les sons de Mars sur l' #atmosphère martienne et ses interactions avec la #surface ?

D'autres paysages sonores - celui de #Titan par exemple - pourraient-ils être capturés au moyen d'un semblable capteur ? Réponse de Baptiste Chide, chercheur à l'IRAP, lors d'un séminaire organisé ce jeudi : irap.omp.eu/event/planetary-ac

After a long stop at Broom's Point, #Perseverance is back on its planned route down the northwest Jezero Crater rim. The path shown is a guess.

The map was made with #QGIS
