The Perseverance spacecraft of the United States' Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) penetrated the Martian atmosphere on Thursday and landed safely on the surface of a vast crater, in its first station, looking for signs of ancient microbial life on the Red Planet.
Mission managers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, near Los Angeles, cheered as radio signals arrived, confirming that the rover, which includes six tires, survived a risky landing and reached its target in a vast basin called Jizero Crater, where the bottom of a lake has long since disappeared. far.
