The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) offers to admire the selfie pictures of the Perseverance rover against the background of the Martian expanses.
Perseverance successfully landed on the Red Planet on February 18 last year. Together with the apparatus, the Ingenuity helicopter arrived on Mars. The rover is equipped with a complex of scientific instruments, cameras and a special system for sampling Martian soil.
The presented self-portraits were taken back in September 2021 near a boulder called Rochette. Two drilling holes are visible on the surface of this stone, which were made by Perseverance in order to study the rocks.
Self-portraits were taken using a WATSON (Wide Angle Topographic Sensor for Operations and eNgineering) camera mounted on a 2-meter robotic arm.
The photographs show traces from the rover against the backdrop of the Martian landscape. The surface of the rover is covered with brown dust particles.
