Perseverance: Journey To Mars

Perseverance Rover’s journey to Mars in under 3 minutes. Dedicated to all the people at JPL, NASA, and other agencies that dare to make the impossible possible. A quick look at the rover’s capabilities, its journey to Mars, and the entry, decent, and landing. 0:00 - Perseverance tech specs 0:54 - Cruise stage, how the rover makes it to Mars 1:56 - Entry Decent and Landing (EDL) and terrain relative navigation. I made this as a proof of concept for quick CG work using Apple’s Motion and Final Cut Pro. I also wanted to make a more cinematic version of the event surrounding the Mars2020 landing. All CG except everything past 2:15 was created in Apple Motion. Video and photo credits: NASA/ JPL-Caltech Music: Videocopilot pro scores
