Perseverance Drills a Rock on Jezero Crater Rim
In this video, the robotic arm on NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover uses its percussive drill on a rocky outcrop near the rim of Jezero Crater that the science team calls “Kenmore” on June 10, 2025, the 1,531st Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Before drilling, the team abraded the rock to determine it was worthy of drilling. The eight images that make up this GIF were taken approximately one minute apart by one of the rover's front hazard-avoidance cameras.
