The Peserverance rover reached Mars in February of this year, after a journey of more than six months. To celebrate the mission, NASA has collected the most voted photos each week taken by a robotic rover on the Red Planet.
It is worth remembering that the goal of perseverance is to search for remnants of microbial life. Therefore, it has many sensors, several HD cameras and a microphone.
The size of a famous car, Perserverance weighs a ton and even takes A small helicopter called creativity. He has already made a series of successful flights to Mars, marking the first atmospheric exploration to be carried out outside Earth.
Here are some of the dozens of images chosen by NASA each week made by the Persevering Rover and voted on by the public.

This was the first image taken by Perverance when it reached the Red Planet. It was made by someone called Hazcams. They take pictures that help the rover avoid dangers on Mars. According to NASA, it also helps position the robotic arm to get the rocks from the site.
The photo was taken Perseverance on February 20. Manufactured using the Mastcam-Z cam on top of the device. Mastcams-Z is dedicated to capturing color and 3D images of the surface of Mars
The image was taken on March 9 with the Navcam camera on the right side of the rover. As the name suggests, it is a navigation camera. Therefore, it helps to detect potential obstacles and place the robotic arm when it is necessary to deal with something on the surface of the planet
This image taken on March 17th shows details of the vehicle itself and was taken with the Sherloc camera (Raman & Luminescence Habitable Environments Survey for Organics and Chemicals). Despite the giant name, its goal is to use lasers and spectrometers to find organic minerals that have been altered by aquatic environments. It’s at the end of the arm of the car.
The view of Mars was captured on March 22nd. The image was taken with the Mastcam-Z. It can shoot videos and photos in high definition, as well as panoramic scenes
A panorama of the Martian floor in the image taken on April 13th by Navcam. As the name suggests, it is a navigation camera. Therefore, it helps in detecting potential obstacles and placing the robotic arm when it is necessary to deal with something that is on the surface of the planet. Notice the robot creativity is back there
