The US space agency (NASA) said the agency’s “Perseverance” spacecraft made its first flight on the red planet (Mars), moving 6.5 meters in 33 minutes.
The short flight was a navigation test for the testing of the probe systems. NASA aims to have “Perseverance” make trips of 200 meters or more as soon as it begins its scientific exploration.
The spacecraft, which weighs around 1,000 kilograms and is the size of a small car, landed on Mars in a precarious landing maneuver on February 18 after traveling 480 million km in space.
Perseverance is expected to study the Martian surface for two years.
