The “How to Land on Mars” video, as described in an earlier press release, displayed up-close footage from the touchdown on Feb. 18, which were captured by cameras located underneath the rover.
NASA’s video shows the rover entering the Martian atmosphere with a deployed parachute. The velocity at the start of its descent was “450 meters per second at an altitude of about 12 kilometers from the surface of Mars,” according to a voice that narrated the clip.
The rover performed a “sky crane maneuver” around 20 meters off the planet’s surface before it finally touched down.
