Touchdown confirmed on Mars

[Deleted member 103]

Did the Perseverance took a photo and send back to earth or space station? Why not 10 more photos or NASA only willing to share 1? Maybe a short video.
What kind of network NASA uses while my internet download speed is still so slow like snail. Sorry for my noob questions.

okay let me read further, there is something call MRO. It seems it is far ahead than 5G technology. I wish I could get this kind of technology. ?

Unfortunately, as far as I have heard from an Italian station, they do not use a super technology, because they need about 11 minutes until a command is received.
And that's only because Mars is currently in a lower orbit.

No problem! no batteries are used, only fuel cells.

It is indeed using batteries.

Perseverance will snap some images from its perch on the surface, and those should be relayed back to Earth via one of the orbiters. And then the rover will go to sleep to recharge its batteries, waking only if an orbiter is near.

To remember this event, I would name the new system (source code I purchased for the system developed by @sfsameer) as Persie. ?

the NASA 7G messaging system - works like this :

Zulu messengers in 1879 used this method - cleft-stick runner.....

I wish I could get this kind of technology.

It's like you go to someone's house and say to the owner: Welcome stranger!!

Now we have 2 cars and 1 helicopter there. The next shipment should be traffic lights

The US have Curiosity Rover too so I guess 3 cars and 1 helicopter.
