NASA's Perseverance Rover Heading Jezero Delta Scarp Was Captured By Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter!
Between the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Perseverance (Percy) and Ingenuity, NASA is able to capture outstanding high resolution images of the Jezero Crater area...NOTE that the yellow dot on lower right (52 second mark) indicates the location of NASA’s Perseverance rover. The formation in the upper left is the “Delta Scarp,” which the RMI camera photographed on March 17, 2021, from a distance of 1.4 miles (2.25 kilometers).
NOTES:
The Mars Perseverance Rover, which already has sent back some incredible images from the Red Planet, is equipped with 23 cameras designed for a host of tasks. Its main camera array is particularly impressive, able to see details as small as a tip of a pencil close by, and the size of an almond from a football field away in 3D.
The cameras on Perseverance have three main improvements over those that flew on Curiosity: they can take color images, they have a wider field of view, and they have more resolution. In total, these three aspects greatly improve the quality of images taken by even the rover’s engineering cameras.
I will post a short description of the Rover's Cameras including the RMI (Remote Micro-Imager) cameras after I post this video...
I hope you enjoy it!

Thank you my space-exploration advocate friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the NASA documentary video from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter [USA not China] of NASA's Perseverance Rover heading towards the Jezero Crater area by way of the Jezero Delta Scarp.
Kudos to the designers, maintainers and controllers of this amazing technology.

I wonder what the speed limit is on Mars and who enforces it :-)
