Humans Have Started To Dump Trash On The Martian Surface: Report - Mashable India

NASA’s Perseverance rover successfully touched down on Mars at the end-February after a 203-day journey traversing 293 million miles (472 million kilometres). Ever since its landing, a lot of new images and videos have surfaced online, giving us a look into the rover’s new home on the Martian surface. On the Martian surface, the ESA-Roscosmos Trace Gas Orbiter also cruised over the landing area of the Perseverance rover a few days after its touch down and managed to get pictures of the rover.

As reported by BGR, in the image shared by ESA, you can see where the rover is placed on the Martian surface as well as all the junk that dropped down as the Perseverance rover landing on Mars. The report states that the rover’s landing on Mars was a very complex event that required a range of machinery and heavy-duty equipment. The images shared by ESA mages show the rover, the descent stage, the parachute, back shell, and a heat shield, all of the equipment that helped the rover during its landing on Mars.

“There it is! And there’s the garbage! The ExoMars orbiter that snapped the image didn’t just provide a birds-eye view of the rover after landing, but also provided NASA with additional information and tracking data when the rover was coming in for its landing,” states the BGR report.

The image of NASA’s Perseverance rover on the martian surface was released by the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), part of the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars program, on February 25. The tweet shared by the agency states that “there you are Nasa Persevere! I finally got the chance to take a photo of you in your new home".
