Nasa confirms Perseverance rover has landed on Mars

美国NASA证实，“毅力”号火星车已着陆火星

WASHINGTON: Nasa said Thursday that the Perseverance rover has touched down on the surface of Mars after successfully overcoming a risky landing phase known as the "seven minutes of terror."

华盛顿: 美国NASA周四表示，“毅力”号火星车成功克服了被称为“恐怖七分钟”的着陆阶段，成功着陆火星表面。

"Touchdown confirmed," said operations lead Swati Mohan at around 3:55 pm Eastern Time (2055 GMT) as mission control at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory headquarters erupted in cheers.

美国东部时间下午3点55分(格林尼治标准时间2055分)，操作负责人斯瓦蒂·莫汉说:“确认着陆了。”NASA喷气推进实验室总部的控制中心爆发出欢呼声。

The autonomously-guided procedure was completed more than 11 minutes earlier, which is how long it takes for radio signals to return to Earth.

这个自动引导的过程是在11分钟前完成的，无线电信号传回地球所需的时间正是11分钟。

"WOW!!" tweeted Nasa Associate Administrator Thomas Zurburchen as he posted the Perseverance's first black and white image from the Jezero Crater in Mars' northern hemisphere.

美国NASA副局长托马斯·祖伯臣在推特上写道:“哇!!”他发布了“毅力号”拍摄到的第一张火星北半球Jezero陨石坑的黑白照。

The rover is only the fifth ever to set its wheels down on Mars. The feat was first accomplished in 1997 and all so far have been American.

该火星车是迄今为止第五辆在火星上着陆的火星车。这项壮举首次于1997年完成，迄今为止都是由美国人完成的。

About the size of an SUV, it weighs a ton, is equipped with a seven foot (two meter) long robotic arm, has 19 cameras, two microphones, and a suite of cutting-edge instruments to assist in its scientific goals.

它的大小和一辆SUV差不多，重达一吨，装备有一条7英尺(2米)长的机械臂，有19个摄像头，两个麦克风，以及一套尖端仪器来帮助实现科学目标。

ISRO and Indian Scientist have the capability to explore the limitless frontier of Space and we need more youth of the premier Indian Institutes to join this race.

Why does US want to know whether there is life BEYOND Earth? So that they can devise newer ways of destroying it? In advance?
