Mars 2020 Update: Perseverance and Ingenuity Are Now at the Pad!

Just thought I'd share these images of the Atlas V rocket carrying NASA's Perseverance Mars rover and the Ingenuity Mars helicoper as it rolled out to the pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) in Florida earlier this morning. Liftoff of the Atlas V from Space Launch Complex-41 at CCAFS is targeted for 7:50 AM, Eastern Daylight Time (4:50 AM, Pacific Daylight Time) on Thursday, July 30. Weather is currently at 80% "GO" during the 2-hour launch window that day. So stoked!
