NASA Mars Perseverance Launch
- Thread starter Snagglefoot
- Start date
I wonder if Howard Wolowitz worked on the rover?
AM or PM ?
Whoops. 7:50 hrs, so AM.
It´s missing its robot arm, so I´d say he did.

Successful launch!
I worked on the Mars Science Laboratory rover that launched in Nov 2011.

Stay tuned for the landing on Feb 18, 2021. 
Here is a road map to Mars. Earth and Mars are in good relative positions for a launch once every two years. Enjoy.
The rover will look not only at the surface of the planet: the rover will look deep under it using a radar penetrating the earth called RIMFAX. Unlike similar instruments aboard Martian orbiters that study the planet from space, RIMFAX will be the first ground-penetrating radar installed on the surface of Mars.
We are less than than a month away from the Mars Perseverence landing scheduled for Feb 18. Party on!

A short video about how the rover was assembled and packed under the head fairing, and another video - how the rocket was moved from the "shipyard" to the launch pad.
