NASA press conference about to start to give an update on @NASAPersevere. New images expected!

Watch here:

Press conference starting. Thread to follow

Starting off with a color image from the skycrane lowering Perseverance down to the surface! Mind. blown.

MRO image of the parachute and back shell during landing. It is currently unknown at what point during the descent this image was taken at.

Moving onto the health of the rover. Perseverance is healthy on Mars. Currently 1pm at Jezero Crater.

Hey @NASA, how much for the Perseverance model?

Low resolution color image from the front hazcam after the dust cover was deployed.

Another one this time looking at one of the wheels.

Graphic showing the location of Percy and the names of the areas surrounding it. The rover is about 2km from the delta.

Now onto phone questions. First question is about the software change the team will be doing. Will take about four days to perform.

Question about why all the cameras aren't in color. Smaller amount of data for black and white, however most images from the rover will be in color this time.

Question about the landing footage and microphone.

Still getting data back. Downloading more over the weekend. No exact number on the amount of pictures sent back but many thumbnails so far.

Another question about the microphones.

Don't have any data from them yet so unknown if they worked. Hoping to get it back this weekend or early next week.

Question on if any data so far indicated a problem during landing.

Curiosity data has some surprises, not necessarily bad, nothing jumping out so far.

Question about where Perseverance landed.

Team is excited to examine everything. Rocks in Jezero crater estimated to be 3.6-3.8 billion years old

Social media question if weather will affect the samples taken.

Team isn't to concerned about weather.

Question about the holes in the rocks around the rover.

Unknown whether they are volcanic or from water. Need to get the instruments out to know for sure.

Question about how long until Ingenuity flies and if there are cameras on it.

Around Sol 60, maybe earlier. Lots to do first. Can take color images and color video.
