7 Minutes of Terror: How Perseverance Will Land on Mars

The stakes are high for NASA's newest rover. Years of hard work and millions of dollars could be burnt into the Martian soil if one mistake has been made!

The Perseverance Rover represents the latest in a long line of remote robotic exploration vehicles sent to the red planet over the last 44 years.
It seeks to answer further questions raised by it’s predecessor Curiosity – which made its landing on Mars in 2012 and was the most ambitious mission flown by NASA at that time.
This ‘little engine that could’ has now been on Mars for almost 8 Earth years – 2835 Mars days to be exact. It has fulfilled it’s primary mission of finding evidence of organic molecules and geological change on Mars.
It continues to explore and search for water in the form of ice.
All this was possible due to Curiosity's successful landing. But how likely is Perseverance to have a successful touchdown?
