The briefing will be broadcast on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website and stream live on multiple agency social media platforms.

Discussing the footage and the mission will be:

  • Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters
  • Michael Watkins, director, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
  • Matt Wallace, Perseverance deputy project manager, JPL
  • Al Chen, Perseverance entry, descent, and landing lead, JPL
  • Dave Gruel, Perseverance EDL camera lead, JPL
  • Justin Maki, Perseverance imaging scientist and instrument operations team chief, JPL
  • Jessica Samuels, Perseverance surface mission manager, JPL
  • Ken Williford, Perseverance deputy project scientist, JPL

Media and the public may ask questions on social media during the briefing using #CountdownToMars.

Following Monday’s briefing, at 4 p.m., NASA will host a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” in the r/IAmA community with scientists, engineers, and mission experts who will answer questions from the public about the mission and new imagery. Read NASA’s tweet about it:
