28 Miles and Counting: NASA’s Perseverance Rover Sets a Mars Driving Record

NASA’s Perseverance rover has now driven farther than any other vehicle in the solar system — except those on Earth, of course.​

​

On Sunday, Perseverance’s odometer ticked past 28.06 miles, the distance it has traveled in and around Jezero Crater since it landed on Mars in February 2021. That surpasses the distance that Opportunity, one of NASA’s earlier, smaller Mars rovers, trundled from 2004 until it fell silent in 2018.​

​

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which operates the rover, announced the news on Monday after confirming Perseverance’s location and new total driving distance: 28.1 miles.​
