Successful Landing The highly anticipated moment arrived as Mission Recovery Operations announced, “We have touchdown!” The Osiris-Rex capsule touched down three minutes earlier than expected, causing excitement among officials. The landing was confirmed to have occurred off the coast of California at 10:42 a.m., exactly as planned. Parachute Surprises Surprising everyone, the orange striped parachute opened at a remarkable height of 20,000 feet (6,100 meters). This was four times higher than initially anticipated, based on the deceleration rate. The drogue parachute provided stability upon entering the atmosphere, followed by the deployment of the main parachute, which slowed the capsule down…

Images provide insight into atmospheric phenomena on Mars On Perseverance’s 899th day on Martian soil, the rover’s Navcams captured a series of 21 pictures, showcasing a mesmerizing dust devil in motion. These images, taken four seconds apart, were then compiled and sped up 20 times to highlight the phenomenon’s movement. Dust devils on Mars, as described by NASA, are smaller and less powerful compared to tornadoes on Earth. However, they play a crucial role in redistributing dust across the planet’s surface. Scientists frequently study these atmospheric phenomena to gain a deeper understanding of Mars’ atmosphere and enhance current weather models.…
