Few days after NASA’s Mars rover Perseverance touched down on Mars's surface, the US space agency has released its “first-of-its-kind” footage from the “Red Planet”.

Perseverance, the most developed astrobiology lab at any point that was shipped off to a different planet, streaked through the Martian atmosphere last Thursday and landed securely inside a tremendous pit, the main stop on a quest for hints of ancient microbial life on the red planet.

The six-wheeled vehicle stopped about 2km from transcending precipices at the foot of a remnant stream delta that is viewed as an excellent spot for geobiological study on Mars.

The automated vehicle cruised through space for almost seven months, covering 472 million kilometers. Minutes after landing, it radiated back its black-and-white images, one of them showing the rover’s shadow on the barren, rough landing site.

"This is the first time we’ve been able to actually capture an event like the landing of a spacecraft on Mars," Michael Watkins, the director of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), said in a news conference Monday, adding that he hopes the video will bring viewers along on the journey.

Watkins jested that the team "binge watched" the new videos over the weekend, saying, "if you can call a one-minute video binge watching, but we watched it many, many times and it's really fantastic."

After screening the new footage at the news conference, Watkins describes the feeling of watching the videos, saying it "gives me goosebumps every time I see it."

The video shot the whole plunge onto Mars, from the parachute inflation to its definitive touchdown in the Jezero Crater. NASA said five cameras on three different pieces of the rocket gathered the imagery.
