NASA has published a navigation-camera image showing rover tracks across a rocky Martian landscape, captured by the Perseverance Mars rover on Oct. 11, 2026, the 2,006th Martian day, or sol, of its mission, according to the agency's Photojournal entry dated Oct. 13, 2026.

During that sol's drive, which spanned 299.6 feet (91.31 meters), Perseverance passed a milestone: its total driving distance went beyond that of NASA's Opportunity rover. Opportunity logged 28.06 miles (45.16 kilometers) over its 15-year mission on Mars, the agency said.

The image is credited to NASA/JPL-Caltech. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, managed for the agency by Caltech in Pasadena, California, built the rover and manages its operations on behalf of the agency's Science Mission Directorate in Washington, as part of the Mars Exploration Program.
