Perseverance Mars rover took to get to a location the science team has dubbed the \u201cBroom Point member,\u201d a\u00a0sequence of layered bedrock likely more than 3.9 billion years old. As planned, the rover landed inside Jezero Crater on Feb. 18, 2021. It investigated the crater\u2019s western delta and inlet river valley, Neretva Vallis, before summiting the crater rim in December 2024 following a rim-to-crest climb of 2,620 feet (800 meters).<\/p>\n<p>The Broom Point region is situated on the outer edge of the crater rim and was visited by the rover in mid-2025. The yellow dot indicates location where the rover took a selfie.<\/p>\n<p>NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed for the agency by Caltech in Pasadena, California, built and manages operations of the Perseverance rover. Arizona State University leads the operations of the Mastcam-Z instrument, working in collaboration with Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego, on the design, fabrication, testing, and operation of the cameras, and in collaboration with the Niels Bohr Institute of the University of Copenhagen on the design, fabrication, and testing of the calibration targets.<\/p>\n<p>For more about Perseverance:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/mars-2020-perseverance\/\" rel=\"noopener\">science.nasa.gov\/mission\/mars-2020-perseverance\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>JPL manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter for NASA\u2019s Science Mission Directorate in Washington as part of NASA\u2019s Mars Exploration Program portfolio.
