But they did pick up a mechanical whirring from the rover after its arrival. Wallace said he hoped to record other sounds, such as the rover\u2019s wheels crunching over the surface and its robotic arm drilling for samples of Martian rock.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018THE STUFF OF OUR DREAMS\u2019<\/p>\n<p>But it was film footage from the spacecraft\u2019s perilous, self-guided ride through Martian skies to touchdown &#8211; an interval NASA has dubbed \u201cthe seven minutes of terror\u201d &#8211; that JPL\u2019s team found particularly striking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese videos and these images are the stuff of our dreams,\u201d Al Chen, head of the descent and landing team, told reporters. JPL Director Mike Watkins said engineers spent much of the weekend \u201cbinge-watching\u201d the footage.<\/p>\n<p>The video, filmed in color at 75 frames a second, shows action in fluid, vivid motion from several angles, the first such imagery ever recorded of a spacecraft landing on another planet, Wallace said.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most dramatic moments is of the red-and-white parachute being shot from a canon-like launch device into the sky above the rover as the spacecraft is hurtling toward the ground at nearly two times the speed of sound.<\/p>\n<p>The chute springs upward, unfurls, and fully inflates in less than two seconds, with no evidence of tangling within its 2 miles (3.2 km) of tether lines, Chen said.<\/p>\n<p>A downward-pointing camera shows the heat shield falling away and a sweeping vista of the butterscotch-colored Martian terrain, appearing to shift back and forth as the spacecraft sways under the parachute.<\/p>\n<p>Seconds later, an upward-pointed camera captures the rocket-powered \u201csky-crane\u201d vehicle, newly jettisoned from the parachute, its thrusters firing but the propellant plumes invisible to the human eye while lowering the rover to a safe landing spot on a harness of tethers.<\/p>\n<p>A separate camera shows the lowering of the six-wheeled rover from the vantage point of the sky crane, looking downward as Perseverance dangles from its cable harness just over the surface with streams of dust billowing around it at touchdown. The sky crane is then seen flying up and away from the landing site after the harness cables are cut.<\/p>\n<p>A single still photo of the rover suspended from the sky crane moments before landing was released by NASA on Friday amid much fanfare as a precursor to the video shown on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The only previous moving footage produced of a spacecraft during a Mars landing was a comparatively crude video shot from beneath the previous rover, Curiosity, during its descent to the planet\u2019s surface in 2012. That stop-motion-like sequence was shot at 3.5 frames per second from a single angle that showed the ground gradually getting closer but included no images of the parachute or sky-crane maneuvers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"storypage-social-bottom\">\n<div class=\"leftside-socialshare\">\n<div
