Thanks to the cameras installed on the "Heavenly Crane", which neatly lowered the Perseverance rover to the surface of Mars, the whole world was able to see not only the process of delivery of the device on the red planet, but also to see Mars himself, almost in real time. On, with the historical frames, we also saw the drop-down parachute. And few noticed that this very parachute contained a secret message encrypted in the sequence and magnitude of the white and red parachute dome lanes. Depending on the form and location of the patterns of red-white, located around the parachute center, segments are different numbers that can be decrypted using a binary code. But Internet detectives were able to decipher it.
What is the secret message encoded on Perseverance MarshOther Parachute![Secret Message of NASA through Perseverance MarshOther Parachute -](/userfiles/21/3857_2.webp)
On the colored patterns, the parachute used for braking in the atmosphere of Mars was secretly inscribed by the phrase, which can be translated into a literary Russian, as "create great things" (Dare Mighty Things). And in fact, this is a motto used by the Perseverance team in the NASA Jet Motive Lab (JPL) in Pasaden. The message also includes the geographic coordinates of JPL: 34 ° 11'58 "N 118 ° 10'31" W.

Allen Chen, head of the mission at the entrance, descent and landing of the Marshode, during a briefing confirmed that in the "patterns" parachute was a message, "In addition to creating incredible scientific achievements, we hope that our engineering efforts can inspire others. Sometimes we leave messages in our work so that others can find them for this purpose, so we invite you to try and show your job. People cannot resist to make some individuality in their work ... But the vast majority of them will never be known - even to me. "
There is a chance that there are a lot of Easter from the Perseverance team ahead of us

In the meantime, Perseverance began the calibration mounted on its board of equipment, and preparations for its work on its intended purpose. While this process goes, the rover sends new pictures on the ground, which, among other things, show the board of the Marshode itself, and calibration targets for configuring and verifying the correctness of the cameras. Also, they are needed to calibrate the images of the Martian area to adapt to changes in brightness and dust in the planet's atmosphere during the day.
