Sol 0402: Delta Front Scarps PDI Mastcam-Z Mosaic

This text is based on the NASA/JPL media release for this mosaic, online at https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA25671

NASA’s Perseverance rover used its Mastcam-Z camera to capture the eroded eastern edge of the delta within Mars’ Jezero Crater on April 7, 2022, the 402nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission.

This video zooms in on a deposit of boulders at the edge of the delta. These boulders may have been moved there by high-energy floods in the ancient past. Perseverance will be exploring and sampling boulder deposits like this one in 2023 after dropping off its first cache of samples at a site called Three Forks as part of the Mars Sample Return campaign.
