    awesome

    We're getting a strong signal from the rover... made me think, that instrument has landed on the surface of Mars and is pointing it's antenna at earth, how wide is that target from Mars anyhow (not doin the math).  Still stunningly impressive.

    Landing video





    Six small off-the-shelf cameras made up the EDL Cam system (Entry, Descent and Landing). They survived the journey and worked flawlessly, capturing the spacecraft's parachute deployment, heat shield separation, powered descent and gentle deposit of the Perseverance Rover on the Martian surface.
