Fortunately, thanks to the power of technology, you don’t have to. So here’s how — and when — you can watch the landing of the Perseverance rover. Here’s How to Watch the ‘Perserverance’ Landing The event will be available to watch on NASA’s official YouTube page (videos linked here in the article), public TV channel, website, app, Twitter, Facebook, Twitch, and even their LinkedIn. There will also be a Spanish stream available. Basically, there are a ton of places to watch it, for good reason. Given the enormity of a Mars landing, you can start tuning in long before the countdown. Here’s When to Watch the ‘Perserverance’ Landing A special live-stream for students is set to begin at 12:30 pm EST, with the official live coverage starting at 2:15 pm EST. We’ve linked them both here in this article so you can come back here if you want — or you can head over to any of the above-listed NASA pages. The only real downside is that due to data delays, NASA will not be able to broadcast the actual landing live. However, the stream will still be able to show the majority of the landing process, including the initial entry and descent, which space engineers often refer to as the “seven minutes of terror.” Plus, NASA’s mission control team will be able to confirm on the stream if the rover landed safely.
