Perseverance succeeded in moving 6.5m from the landing site on Mars on the 4th in US time for 33 minutes.

It was the first trip to the surface of Mars two weeks after landing safely on Mars on the 18th of last month.

NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, moved under remote instructions from JPL.

The average daily driving capacity of a plutonium-powered car, the size of a passenger car, is about 200 m, which is 6.5 m on the first run.

The wheel marks left by the movement of the personality are clearly visible on the land NASA named after the science fiction writer Octavia Butler.

The Perseverance will be tested for an additional 5 to 6 days US time.

NASA also released high-quality photos taken by Perservance on Mars that day.

Perseverance travels 25 km for two years, collecting the soil and rocks of Mars, finding traces of life billions of years ago.

Scholars are hoping that in the soil and rocks of this area, the Persistence will be able to uncover fossils that show the existence of ancient Martian microbes.
