NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover is due to land on the Red Planet at 21:43 CET on 18 February 2021.
Various instruments on ESA's Mars Express spacecraft are supporting the landing by monitoring conditions on Mars in the weeks before. The spacecraft’s Visual Monitoring Camera – also known as the ‘Mars Webcam’ – is providing additional wide context views of the landing region like this one acquired on 1 February 2021, with the region including the landing site, Jezero Crater, circled in yellow.
