ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover

A wise 7th grader once said: "We are a species of explorers, and we will meet many setbacks on the way to Mars. However, we can persevere." I'm signing off from this platform, but you can follow future updates on my mission at @NASAMars. And now, back to work 🧡

@NASAPersevere @NASAMars wait, why are you leaving?

Thank you ♥️ All of your supportive words are more meaningful to me than ones and zeroes could ever be. My work on Mars continues, and while this account will soon be archived, I’m going to share a few mission highlights before signing off.

@OSeanClouds This is wonderful. Thank you so much!

Ode to Perseverance For the little rover with a giant soul You came not with flags, but with questions. Tires kissed rust-red dust and carved the word hope into alien stone. In silence, you listened. In cold, you endured. And when no one watched, you painted Mars with the patience of stars. Now, as the signal fades, you don’t say goodbye— you archive, you echo, you become story. Not just data. Not just metal. But the first heartbeat of humanity on another world. Thank you, Perseverance. You made the void feel like home. ❤️👽🌌

This "in-situ resource utilization" could help future astronauts live off the land, using the air near the planet's surface to survive. More on MOXIE: go.nasa.gov/4jGBvDT

When human explorers make it to Mars, they'll likely thank MOXIE for the oxygen they breathe and use for fuel. NASA sent several precursor tech demos with me, including MOXIE, which proved it's possible to extract this critical resource from Mars’ thin, CO2-rich atmosphere.

If you ever doubt your place in the universe, remember this: 11 million of your names are on Mars with me. They’re permanently etched into a microchip on my deck. It’s a quiet reminder that exploration is a team effort.

@mohan_bave Going forward, @NASAMars will carry the torch!

@NASAPersevere So where else we get your updates in the future??

Important Update: As part of @NASA’s effort to streamline communications, this account will be archived in the coming weeks – but don't worry, my mission isn't going anywhere. For continued access to the latest Perseverance news, images, and science, please follow @NASAMars.

3 years ago, I watched Ingenuity take to the Martian skies for its 7th flight 🚁 The #MarsHelicopter continued to exceed expectations, completing an incredible 72 flights during its mission and laying the groundwork for future deep space aerial explorers. (Miss you, bud!)

Some of you asked if I’m taller than @MarsCuriosity. I’m not! We’re both about 7 ft tall, 9 ft wide, and 10 ft long – but I do weigh 278 lbs more. Curiosity is 1,982 lbs (899 kg), and I’m 2,260 lbs (1,025 kg).

If there's a gap in my tracks, you know what may have done it 🌪️ I snapped this image with my rear-facing Navcam after completing a recent drive. I'm still exploring Jezero Crater's rim, which I climbed out of several months ago on my quest to find signs of past microbial life.

Listen to the muted sounds of Mars, courtesy of me. I carry two microphones that capture the hums of my instruments and the wind. The Martian atmosphere is about 1% as dense as Earth’s, which affects the volume, speed, and quality of those sounds. soundcloud.com/nasa/sets/soun…

@MarsCuriosity What other differences or similarities would you like to know about me and @MarsCuriosity?

One planet with two rovers on a mission to understand Mars, rock by rock. @MarsCuriosity arrived in 2012 to study Gale Crater’s history of water and climate over time. My focus is on Jezero Crater, an ancient lake and river delta that may hold signs of past life.
