Perseverance just did something it’s never done before. On Dec. 8 and 10, 2025, the Mars rover completed drives planned by AI – not human mission planners. In a first-of-its-kind demonstration, generative AI created navigation waypoints for the rover, a complex decision-making task typically done by teams on Earth. The test hints at a future where planetary exploration is more efficient and delivers even more science. Learn more: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-perseverance-rover-completes-f

NASA’s Perseverance rover landing on Mars — one of the most dramatic moments in space exploration. On February 18, Perseverance survived the famous “seven minutes of terror”, screaming through the Martian atmosphere before touching down safely inside Jezero Crater. Its mission: search for signs of ancient life, study Mars’ climate, and collect samples for future return to Earth. A robot from Earth… now exploring another world. 🌍➡️🔴 Science fiction? Nope.
