How does a Mars Rover work? (Perseverance)

Thanks to Morning Brew for sponsoring my video! Sign up for free here: morningbrewdaily.com/jaredowen Did I miss any cool facts about Perseverance?! Please share in the comments down below👇

My dad works at Teledyne E2V in Essex, and has specifically made some parts for the Perseverance rover. Really nice to see its still relevant!

I am honestly impressed with the power of human's intelligence starting from a simple wooden axe until a powerful technology like these

Bro, you don't know how much this means to me. I've searched for such detailed explanation on YouTube for months. Thank you 🙏

I'm baffled to know that this has actually happened and it isn't just a hypothetical theory video of how one could get a rover to Mars. Like, bro, humans can do some super cool stuff!

When there's a new video from this channel, i can't help but feel so much joy! The content is beyond amazing.

I don't think people understand just how much work you put into these videos. From the researching to the 3d animations. You are truly one of the best youtubers out there and my personal favorite. Thank you for your work.

Some small but important details missed: When assembled into the back shell/heat shield, the entire... we might called it "reentry vehicle" maintained an perfect symmtrical gravity center on geometry, convenient for the Cruise Stage to make control of vehicle's attitude. But when reentrying, the reentry vehicle needs an slightly asymmtrical CG to maintaining an naturally AoA (if symmtrical, there's no AoA, the vehicle will tend to maintaing lined up with flying vectors) to creating hypersonic lift, so that it can controlled the descent trajectory via aerodynamic control. To do that, just before reentry, two bob-weights on the back shell will be jettingsoned, so that the CG will moving sideways to created the required asymmtrical. Then after reentry, another four bob-weights will be jettingsoned to moving the CG back to the centerline, convenient for the parachute deploying.

Just incredible!When we get some quetions on the way while watching a video you had given a simple,detailed explanation with unparalleled animation work!You had hardly missed anything!Good luck to you!❤️

Can you do how elevators work next?

Fantastic animation as always!! Your space craft videos are some of my favorite videos on YouTube.

Amazing video and animations. I will never get over the fact that scientists/engineers have sent robots to other planets. The utter vastness and coldness of space punctuated by these tiny miracles of human ingenuity. It's insane.

"My battery is low and it's getting dark" - opportunity RIP .... Don't worry mate ☺️ we haven't forgotten, we will be back for you someday.

I really love your content Jared, you never disappoint me.

Jared. Incredible video beyond words. The fine details, the storytelling, the suspense, music, mapping and cinematography, animations are just beyond compare. I'm amazed the way you explain it with so much ease which accommodates audiences from children to scientists alike. Keep up the good work. This is hands down the best video on Mars Rover. Looking forward for more space videos in the future and being a subject in your fandom.💐💐👌🏽👌🏽😃

My 4 year old nephew specifically asks to watch your videos and recites them word for word while he builds with his LEGOs, your littlest supporter from the UK

So good, Jared! Your explanations are spot on for amateurs like myself. And the animations excellent and very helpful! My new favorite channel 😊!

Hi Jaren Owed Sir! This is the only channel which gives exclusive contents based on working of different engineering marvels from very basic to complex machinery in very common and simple words which could be understandable by common people as well as technical enthusiasts. Good bless you and keep doing this type of educational videos more and more :)

Hi Jared, my 8yo son loves your videos especially the space-related ones. He’s wondering when you are doing something about the Artemis mission? Thanks and keep up the amazing work. You’re truly an inspiration for all of us.

I can't help but think the names "Perseverance" and "Ingenuity" are very poetic with our current situation with space science.
