Once it's landed, the rover will rely on several technologies developed by Motiv Space Systems, a space robotics company based in Pasadena, California.

Key Points: 
  • Once it's landed, the rover will rely on several technologies developed by Motiv Space Systems, a space robotics company based in Pasadena, California.
  • It should reach speeds of over 12,000 mph before slowing down with the aid of a parachute, and landing in the Jezero Crater.
  • While the other systems provided by Motiv aren't as large or visible, they're equally critical in allowing the rover to complete its mission.
  • "During its mission," said Thayer, "the Perseverance Rover will be able to do things no previous Mars rover could do, thanks to the unique technology it has onboard."
