NASA route record in space with Mars
Record in Space: The NASA rover "Perseverance" has traveled a longer distance on the surface of another planet than any man-made vehicle before.
"Perseverance" (which means endurance in German) has now traveled a total of 45.22 kilometers since its landing on Mars in 2021, the US space agency NASA reported yesterday. With this, it has surpassed the previous record of the "Opportunity" rover, which traveled 45.16 kilometers between 2004 and 2018.
Originally, only about 20 kilometers of travel distance were planned for the "Perseverance" mission, NASA further stated. However, the rover has exceeded all expectations.
"Perseverance" is expected to continue rolling over the red planet with its six wheels and explore it until at least the end of 2028. The development and construction of the rover, which cost around 2.5 billion dollars (2.2 billion Euros), took eight years.
