"This shot from a camera on Perserverance's "jetpack" captures the rover in midair, just before its wheels touched down.
Little
dust plumes can be seen kicking up from the Martian surface, stirred by
the engines landing the rover when it was just 6.5 feet above the
surface." (NASA Photo via CNN)
What a great accomplishment---again! I read comments about how difficult it is to land on Mars, but the folks at NASA make it look like parking in an huge mall on an early Sunday morning.
The complete NASA posting about the photo is HERE.
