Touchdown confirmed 👏

Pictured here, members of the Perseverance rover team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (nasajpl) react in mission control after receiving confirmation the spacecraft successfully touched down on Mars. Working through incredible difficulties due to COVID-19 as well as the technical challenges to launch and land, the Perseverance rover mission embodies the NASA – and the scientific – spirit of overcoming challenges.
