New NASA images show “otherworldly” landing gear from last year’s mission to Mars.
The 10 pics show a UFO-esque conical “backshell” that protected the rover in deep space and during its fiery descent toward the Martian surface. Also visible is the resultant debris field and the aeroshell’s 70.5-foot-wide parachute — the biggest ever deployed on Mars.
“To get the shots we needed, Ingenuity did a lot of maneuvering, but we were confident because there was complicated maneuvering on flights 10, 12 and 13,” said Håvard Grip, chief pilot of Ingenuity. “Our landing spot set us up nicely to image an area of interest for the Perseverance science team on Flight 2,“Perseverance had the best-documented Mars landing in history, with cameras showing everything from parachute inflation to touchdown,” noted Clark.
