Explanation:
On
Thursday
this snapshot from a small plane 5,000 feet
above Florida's Space Coast caught a rocket's trail rising into
the blue morning sky.
It was July's third launch of a
mission from planet Earth bound for Mars.
The Atlas V rocket left
Cape Canaveral Air Force Station from Space Launch Complex 41
at 7:50am EDT carrying
NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover.
The car-sized Perseverance
is headed for a landing at
Jezero
Crater on the Red Planet
in February 2021.
On board the sophisticated rover is the
Ingenuity
Mars Helicopter.
