"Touchdown confirmed," said operations lead Swati Mohan at around 3:55 pm Eastern Time (2055 GMT) as mission control at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory headquarters erupted in cheers. The autonomously-guided procedure was completed more than 11 minutes earlier, which is how long it takes for radio signals to return to Earth.

Pasadena, EE. UU. La NASA logró este jueves posar sobre Marte su vehículo de exploración Perseverance, que es la quinta nave en lograr la hazaña sin problemas y la primera que tiene como objetivo responder a la pregunta de si hubo vida en el Planeta Rojo.

“Se confirma que tocó tierra”, dijo el jefe de misión, Swati Mohan, a las 3:55 p. m. hora del este de Estados Unidos (2:55 p. m. en Costa Rica) tras lo cual el cuartel de operaciones del Laboratorio de Naves a Propulsión estalló en aplausos.
