Perseverance rover checks out its new location after a drive to the West of 119 meters (390.7 ft) during sol 866 (July 28, 2023). Attached are the 5 post-drive tiled NavCam mosaics acquired on completion of the drive at site 42/776. The rover's total traverse since landing is 19.2 kilometers (11.93 miles). The rover completed the drive at a slightly higher elevation 0.35 meters (1.14 feet). Airfield Xi, the helicopters landing location at the end of flight 52 is to the West of the rover. The distance between Perseverance and Ingenuity at airfield Xi is 164.2 meters (538.7 feet). Since the drive the helicopter has been busy sending images from earlier flights to the rover for onward relay to Earth. Image credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Steven Albers
