NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover reaches the top of Jezero Crater’s rim, called Lookout Hill. It took approximately 3.5-months, ascending 1,640 vertical feet, and climbing 20% grades to achieve this feat.
Perseverance is currently working on the Northern Rim campaign, which marks its transition from rocks that partially filled Jezero Crater when it was formed by a massive impact about 3.9 billion years ago to rocks from deep down inside Mars that were thrown upward to form the crater rim after impact.

During the Jezero Crater rim climb, our rover drivers have done an amazing job negotiating some of the toughest terrain we’ve encountered since landing. They developed innovative approaches to overcome these challenges — even tried driving backward to see if it would help — and the rover has come through it all like a champ. Perseverance is ‘go’ for everything the science team wants to throw at it during this next science campaign,” said Steven Lee, deputy project manager for Perseverance at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
