This image released by NASA shows a high-resolution image of one of the six wheels aboard NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover as it is displayed during a NASA Perseverance rover initial surface checkout briefing on February 19, 2021, at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. NASA said February 18, 2021 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 at around 3:55 pm Eastern Time (2055 GMT) as mission control at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory headquarters erupted in cheers.
