Timeline of Mars 2020

The Mars 2020 mission, consisting of the rover Perseverance and helicopter Ingenuity, was launched on July 30, 2020, and landed in Jezero crater on Mars on February 18, 2021. As of June 17, 2025, Perseverance has been on the planet for 1538 sols (1580 total days; 4 years, 119 days). Ingenuity operated for 1042 sols (1071 total days; 1 year, 341 days) until its rotor blades, possibly all four, were damaged during the landing of flight 72 on January 18, 2024, causing NASA to retire the craft.

Current weather data on Mars is being monitored by the Curiosity rover and had previously been monitored by the Insight lander. The Perseverance rover is also collecting weather data. (See the External links section)
