The transmission from Mars takes at least 11 minutes to reach mission managers on Earth, but the full descend of Perseverance from the top of the atmosphere to the Martian surface will take only 7 minutes, which scientists refer to as "seven minutes of terror".
The rover will touch down the surface of Mars after entering the Red Planet's atmosphere, but before that it will send a radio transmission to a NASA team back on Earth, monitoring the journey of the space capsule. NASA's Mars rover Perseverance is all set to land on the surface of the Red Planet later this week after completing more than seven months of grueling journey in deep space.
