NASA’s self-driving Perseverance rover has broken the all-time off-world driving record and is now exploring ancient Martian terrain that could hold clues to the Red Planet’s long-lost history.

NASA’s Perseverance rover has set a new record for driving on another world, traveling farther across the surface of Mars than any vehicle in history. On October 11, its total distance reached 28.10 miles (45.22 kilometers), surpassing the previous record of 28.06 miles (45.16 kilometers) held by NASA’s Opportunity rover, which operated on Mars from 2004 to 2018. Perseverance achieved the milestone on its 2,006th Martian day, known as a sol, completing in just five and a half years a journey that took Opportunity nearly 15.

The record was broken as Perseverance made its way toward a location called “Idubi,” passing through an area nicknamed “Lac de Charmes” just beyond the western edge of Jezero Crater. Scientists believe this region contains some of the most ancient terrain ever investigated in the solar system. Comparable rocks on Earth have…

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover breaks historic record after traveling 28 miles

NASA's Perseverance rover has reached an impressive new milestone, traveling farther across another world than any vehicle before it. On Sol 2006 (Oct. 11, 2026), the rover's total driving distance reached 45.22 kilometers (28.10 miles), establishing a new record for travel on another celestial body. The achievement was even recognized by Guinness World Records, which presented a commemorative plaque to Perseverance's engineering twin on Earth.
