Le rover Persévérance de la NASA découvre les composants de la vie sur Mars
NASA's Perseverance rover sends its first two images to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, shortly after landing on Mars. IMAGES
NASA said Thursday that the Perseverance rover has touched down on the surface of Mars after successfully overcoming a risky landing phase known as the "seven minutes of terror." "Touchdown confirmed," said operations lead Swati Mohan as mission control at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory headquarters erupted in cheers. [COMPLETES VIDI93C2A4_EN] IMAGES
NASA confirms that the Mars 2020 spacecraft carrying the Perseverance rover has entered the Red Planet's atmosphere. The risky, autonomously guided landing phase lasts about seven minutes, and it takes more than 11 minutes for a radio signal to reach Earth. IMAGES
SpaceX's 'Starship' rocket, the largest ever built, takes off from the space company's Texas launch site. CEO Elon Musk hopes the ship will one day colonize Mars and NASA is awaiting a modified version to land humans on the Moon. The first test in April ended in a spectacular explosion over the Gulf of Mexico. IMAGES
