Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNASA’s latest rover Perseverance launches for Mars, blasting off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket on schedule.
The first stage of rocket separation takes place a few minutes later, and the second stage Centaur rocket takes over, boosting it into orbit.
