Perseverance Rover Breaks Distance Record Without Human Help

Slow and steady is winning the race. NASA’s Perseverance Rover has broken the record for the longest distance driven by a rover on the Red Planet, according to a release from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab. Currently en route to its final destination of the Jezero Crater river delta — a 5 km journey from its landing site — the rover travelled 319.13 m in one day. Even more impressive, it did so with minimal help from humans.Rover drivers on Earth at NASA’s Jet Propulsion
