NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter snapped pictures showing the parachute that helped the agency's Perseverance rover land on Mars and the cone-shaped back shell that protected the rover in deep space and during its descent. "Many of...the 80 high-strength suspension lines connecting the backshell to the parachute are visible and appear intact," wrote NASA. The rover landed on Mars in February 2021.
