“We see this as a pathfinder that will pave the way for future missions,” Aung said. “It will be the basis for building much larger vehicles capable of much longer flights.”, a new system that will allow it to spot and avoid hazards when it’s time to land.During the descent, Perseverance will take pictures of the martian surface and compare them to images stored in its onboard computer. If it recognizes a dangerous spot, it can steer away.
