“Please go take a look at these data and play with them, especially those of you … that have signed up for our educational campaign,” Zurbuchen said. Releasing the raw images, video and the sounds should fire up the imagination - not only for future space missions, but for creative crowdsourcing here on Earth. “The video of Perseverance’s descent and landing, and the amazing panorama and the first wide landscape shot of Jezero Crater seen with human eyes, and the first Martian sounds are the closest you can get to landing on Mars without putting on a pressure suit,” Zurbuchen said. “From the outset, AWS cloud services have enabled NASA JPL in its mission to capture and share mission-critical images, and help to answer key questions about the potential for life on Mars.” “AWS is proud to support NASA JPL’s Perseverance mission,” Teresa Carlson, Amazon Web Services’ vice president of worldwide public sector and industries, said today in a blog post. But the fact that thousands of images are being pumped out via NASA’s website with only a few hiccups is arguably a testament to AWS’ performance. The stars of the show are NASA’s Perseverance rover and the hundreds of scientists and engineers supporting the mission to Mars at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and other institutions around the world.

(NASA / JPL-Caltech)įor the first time ever, NASA has captured video of a rover landing on the surface of Mars, plus audio of the wind whistling past it after the landing - and Amazon Web Services is playing a key role in making all those gigabytes of goodness available to the world. The close-range perspective is somewhat skewed due to the panorama effect.
