NASA has released a spectacular video of the landing of its Perseverance rover, the first of its kind, after the arrival of the mission to Mars. 

The clip, just over three minutes long, reveals images of multiple cameras located in different positions, after the probe enters the atmosphere of the red planet: one shows the deployment of the supersonic parachute, another - under the probe - the ground of Mars approaching and two more the rover touching the ground, hanging from three cables. 

However, no sound was recorded during the dizzying descent.

Your front-row seat to my Mars landing is here.
