After seven years of development on Earth and seven months traveling through interplanetary space, NASA’s Perseverance rover will attempt a daredevil landing on the surface of Mars on Thursday.

As the biggest and fastest rover ever sent to the red planet, Perseverance is a science powerhouse. But the rover’s huge 2,260-pound frame also makes its nail-biting descent the most dangerous Mars landing ever attempted, according to NASA. The so-called “seven minutes of terror,” which refers to the amount of time it will take Perseverance to execute its entry, descent, and landing (EDL) sequence.
