Late last month, however, the rover paused to take in the grand Jezero view — and to share that vista with its handlers on Earth.
Perseverance began the climb in mid-August. It took the featured photos when it was about halfway up the western rim, near a spot the mission team calls"Faraway Rock." The rover isn't expected to crest the rim until early December, however, because the going is pretty tough.
"For every two steps forward Perseverance takes, we were taking at least one step back," added Miller, who also served as a driver for NASA's, which landed inside Mars' Gale Crater in 2012 and is still going strong."The rover planners saw this was trending toward a long, hard slog, so we got together to think up some options."
