Nasa’s Mars Perseverance rover has sent back its first colour images from the surface of the red planet.
The space agency also released a dramatic image of the Mars Perseverance rover being lowered onto the surface of the Red Planet during its landing on Thursday.
The image, unveiled during a press briefing on Friday, was taken by the descent stage that placed the vehicle on the ground.
Adam Steltzner, Mars 2020 chief engineer, told the briefing he hoped the image of the rover landing would become as iconic as the picture of Buzz Aldrin on the moon in 1969, the image of Saturn seen from Voyager 1 or the Pillars of Creation taken by the Hubble Telescope.
He added: “We can only hope in our efforts to engineer spacecraft and explore our solar system that we might be able to some day contribute yet another iconic image to this collection.
“I am happy to say that I am hopeful that today we can with this.
“This is an image of the rover Perseverance slung beneath the descent stage, its propulsion pack, as it is being lowered to the surface of Mars.
“You can see the dust kicked up by the rover’s engines, we are probably about two metres or so above the surface of Mars.
