Perseverance Descent Video

 This is from a New York Times article:



The car-sized Perseverance rover is about 10 feet long (not including the robotic arm arm), 9 feet wide and 7 feet tall (about 3 meters long, 2.7 meters wide and 2.2 meters tall). It weighs 2,260 pounds (1,025 kilograms) on Earth. Mars gravity is about 38% of that on Earth. Does that mean it weighs only about 859 pounds on Mars?


This interactive graphic gets into the details of what is on and in the rover.
