    Meanwhile on Mars:
    Perseverance rover completed a 15 minute drive to site 87.0 on March 5, 2026 (Sol 1792). This post-drive roughly processed image was assembled / cropped from 6 post-drive NavCam tiles. I'll add the drive details and updated location map in the comments. Image Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech.

    Mars Guy: Episode 239.
    Mars is notorious for having copious amounts of dust, so when the dust cover of the highest resolution camera on Perseverance could not be closed, it seemed doomed. Here’s what’s happened after 21 months uncovered.

    Meanwhile on Mars: An uphill drive lasting ~67 minutes for Perseverance rover during mission Sol 1661 (October 22, 2025). The distance was ~44 meters due north, climbing ~9.2 meters, with an end-of-drive tilt of 18.7°.

    Attached is a processed rear HazCam image looking downslope at its wheel tracks, the drive data, and screen captures of the updated mission map (with scale bars).

    Wheel tracks and what appears to be distant clouds seen in this composite image taken by Perseverance rover. The base images were acquired after a drive to the southeast of close to 202 meters during sol 1595 (August 15.2025). The image was assembled / cropped from 6 post-drive NavCam tiles.

    Perseverance Rover at 'Falbreen':

    The rover used its Mastcam-Z camera to capture this 360-degree panorama of an area nicknamed "Falbreen" on May 26, 2025 (Sol 1516) Ninety-six separate images were stitched together to make the panorama.

    It may have moved, but Perseverance rover managed to abrade some of the targets weathered surface for further investigation. Here's two images from Sol 1567 (July 17, 2025), a processed NavCam tile (for context), and a close-up of the patch from the SHERLOC WATSON camera (mounted on the turret next to the drill). For scale the patch has a diameter of about 2 inches (5 cm) - Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech

    Pushing a rock around on Mars! Time lapse from Perseverance Rover's HazCam (timestamps included). Watch closely, to see the movement of the shadows from the robotic arm, the rock, the sand grains, the drill mechanism, and the dust all moving around. Animation of 15 images taken about 1 minute apart, the duration was about 13 minutes on sol 1565 (July 15, 2025).

    Mars Cleans Perseverance and Erases Its Work:
    Mars Guy - Episode 222.
    Perseverance is a robotic field geologist observing the aftermath of events that occurred millions to billions of years ago. But it's also a witness to events happening today that have shaped the surface of Mars across geologic time.

    Meanwhile on Mars!

    A short drive (bump) sees Perseverance rover move to a new robotic arm workspace. The attached processed image uses 6 overlapping NavCam tiles. The image tiles were acquired after the drive to RMC site 77.0, during mission sol 1551 (July 1, 2025). The image was assembled in MS-ICE. Also attached is the drive data, including a few basic statistics.

    Meanwhile on Mars!

    Another drive in the crater rim campaign / walkabout, sees Perseverance rover still searching for a site to collect a core sample. Here's a composite image using 6 overlapping processed NavCam tiles, that were acquired after the drive to RMC site 76.594 during Sol 1549 (June 29, 2025). The image was assembled in MS-ICE. Also find the drive data and a few statistics. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech

    Perseverance rover checking out its coring bit and the fractured bedrock that broke up during drilling (image center). Attached is a 9-tile processed NavCam [3854x2894px] of the workspace, and a MastCam-Z image of the drill and its coring bit. No sign of a core in the drill bit in these images from sol 1535 (June 14, 2025)

    The latest abrasion patch on Mars. For scale the diameter of the patch is close to 5cm (2 inches). The image is a single NavCam tile from Perseverance rover and was snapped earlier today, May 23, 2025 or Mars solar day 1513 of its mission on Mars. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech

    Perseverance Rover on the move again. A drive on sol 1511 (May 21,2025) took the rover SSW and further down-slope. The drive duration was 143 minutes, but that included a pause to capture some images.

    A Selfie from Perseverance Rover to celebrate 1,500 sols since landing.

    Assembled from 6 overlapping SHERLOC WATSON images using MS-ICE.

    The SHERLOC WATSON camera is mounted on the turret of the rover’s 2 meter long robotic arm.

    A wider view can be assembled, once all the images are returned to Earth.

    The images were acquired on sol 1500 (May 10, 2025)

    Perseverance rover imaged a drill bit on Sol 1494 with one of its MastCam-Z cameras. We can see a rock core inside its sample tube. I'm assuming this is the same core (#29) that was imaged inside the rover with its CacheCam several days ago. I'm not sure why it's been brought outside again, but one possible answer is that the core is stuck in its tube and preventing it being pushed down into the sample tube, to permit capping the tube.

    A close up of the latest abrasion patch on Mars. The diameter of the patch is ~5cm (2 inches). Perseverance rover acquired this image using its SHERLOC WATSON camera, located on the turret at the end of the rover's robotic arm.

    This image was acquired on April 18, 2025 (Sol 1479) at the local mean solar time of 12:54:46.
