NASA announced this week that the Perseverance rover has taken its first cruise along the surface of Mars. So far, the rover has a mere 21 feet under its belt when it comes to Martian operations. Its first cruise was a short semicircular path around Jezero Crater. NASA controllers took the first drive very slowly, with the test drive spanning 33 minutes, and controllers say it went “incredibly well.” The image seen above was sent back by Perseverance and shows its first tracks left on the Red Planet’s surface. The first drive for Perseverance happened on March 4.
