About this work

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover used its navigation cameras, or navcams, to capture this scene while driving up to Jezero Crater's rim on Nov. 11, 2024, the 1,326th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The sandy terrain seen here, along with a 10-degree average slope, meant it was a slippery drive. Rover tracks trail off behind Perseverance in this image. Far in the distance is the floor of Jezero Crater.
