Los Angeles: US space agency NASA's scientists on Monday released the first high-quality video of a spacecraft landing on Mars. The three-minute video shows the enormous orange and white parachute hurtling open and the red dust kicking up as rocket engines lowered the rover named Perseverance to the surface.

series of cameras mounted at different angles of the multi-stage spacecraft recorded the footage of the landing.  Nasa also shared an audio clip from the Red Planet. You can hear a faint sound of crackling wind recorded by the probe. 
The rover landed last Thursday near an ancient river delta in Jezero Crater to search for signs of ancient microscopic life. After spending the weekend binge-watching the descent and landing video, the team at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, shared the video at a news conference.

But it was film footage from the spacecraft's perilous, self-guided ride through Martian skies to touchdown - an interval NASA has dubbed "the seven minutes of terror" - that JPL's team found particularly striking. Al Chen, head of the descent and landing team, told reporters. "These videos, and these images are the stuff of our dreams."
