It is car-sized, about 10 feet long (not including the arm), 9 feet wide, and 7 feet tall (about 3 meters long, 2.7 meters wide, and 2.2 meters tall). But at 2,260 pounds (1,025 kilograms), it weighs less than a compact car. In some sense, the rover parts are similar to what any living creature would need to keep it \u201calive\u201d and able to explore.\u00a0<br><br>NASA\u2019s Launch Services Program based at Kennedy managed the launch which occurred on July 30, 2020 from\u00a0Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.\u00a0 On February 18, 2021 Perseverance landed on Mars at the Jezero Crater.\u00a0 Perseverance was developed under NASA\u2019s Mars Exploration Program, and her mission is to search for signs of past microbial life, characterize the planet\u2019s climate and geology, collect samples for future return to Earth and pave the way for human exploration of Mars.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-buttons uagb-buttons__outer-wrap uagb-btn__default-btn
