You can purchase the same camera off the internet for whatever applications you might have for it. He added: 'This was not a camera specifically designed for use on Mars. Wallace said he was inspired to find a way to attach a camera to capture landing after his daughter attached a store-bought camera to herself to record her doing a backflip. The video, filmed in colour at 75 frames a second, shows action in fluid, vivid motion from several angles, the first such imagery ever recorded of a spacecraft landing on another planet, mission deputy project manager Matt Wallace said.

The images, shot from multiple cameras, captures the Nasa rover's entry, descent and landing in the red planet's Jezero Crater on Feb. The images relayed back to Earth of the moment are as stunning as the scientific feat itself. In the footage, the Perseverance rover's rocket engines lower it gently down to the surface of Mars, kicking up a swirl of red dust. The quality was so good - and the images so breathtaking - that members of the rover team said they felt like they were riding along. After spending the weekend binge-watching the descent and landing video, the team at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, shared the video at a news conference. Perseverance landed last Thursday to search for signs of ancient microscopic life.
