This image was captured while NASA\u2019s Perseverance rover drove on Mars for the first time on March 4, 2021. One of Perseverance\u2019s Hazard Avoidance Cameras (Hazcams) captured this image as the rover completed a short traverse and turn from its landing site in Jezero Crater.

\u201cTuesday\u2019s first test of the robotic arm was a big moment for us,\u201d said Robert Hogg, Mars 2020 Perseverance rover deputy mission manager. \u201cThat\u2019s the main tool the science team will use to do close-up examination of the geologic features of Jezero Crater, and then we\u2019ll drill and sample the ones they find the most interesting. When we got confirmation of the robotic arm flexing its muscles, including images of it working beautifully after its long trip to Mars \u2013 well, it made my day.\u201d<\/p>\n
