NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory footage of its Perseverance Mars rover using its AutoNav self-driving system to set off-road distance records in Jezero Crater. Perseverance has operated on Mars since February 2021. AutoNav is genuine autonomous hazard-avoidance navigation, attributed to NASA/JPL. NASA imagery is in the public domain.


## Supply chain

_No verified supply relationships on file. Supply-chain coverage is being added across the registry; check back as the seed populates this model's suppliers._

_Suppliers appear when verified with at least two strong sources. Sources are append-only; corrections add new sources rather than rewrite history._

## Common questions

### What is Perseverance Rover?

Mars rover whose AutoNav self-driving system plans and drives routes onboard while in motion; drove ~88-90% of its first-Mars-year traverse autonomously, setting planetary-rover autonomy records.

### Who makes Perseverance Rover?

Perseverance Rover is made by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, based in Pasadena, California, USA, founded in 1936.

### Where is Perseverance Rover deployed?

1 verified deployment of Perseverance Rover is on the DEPLOY registry, including at Mars.

### What is Perseverance Rover's maturity stage?

Perseverance Rover is at the production stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Production stage means high-volume manufacture and commercial-scale deployments are sustained.
