The Persistence rover lands using cables dangling from what is known as a "Mars crane". The spacecraft continues on after disconnecting the cables and the vehicle sets off on its own. This was done to save the fuel needed to land such a large spacecraft at the expense of the scientific equipment. Illustration: NASA / JPL-Caltech
