NASA的毅力号火星车于2026年10月11日打破了外星行驶距离纪录，累计行驶45.22公里（28.10英里），超越了机遇号此前保持的45.16公里（28.06英里）的记录1。毅力号用时5年半就完成了这一壮举，而机遇号为此耗时近15年1。NASA喷气推进实验室项目经理Steven Lee表示："原定任务只需行驶12.4英里，我们已经远远超过了这个目标。"1
毅力号的高效行驶得益于其先进的自主导航系统AutoNav，该系统负责超过90%的行驶里程1。在2,006个火星日的探索中，毅力号单个火星日最大行驶距离达412米1。目前毅力号正在杰泽罗陨石坑西缘探索约40亿年前形成的古老岩石，寻找可能支持生命存在的古代火星环境证据1。迄今为止，毅力号已收集29个岩石和风化层样本，其任务已被延长至2028年末1。
NASA's Perseverance rover has surpassed the all-time distance record for off-world driving, achieving a cumulative distance of 45.22 kilometers (28.10 miles) as of October 11, 2026.1 This milestone eclipses the previous record of 45.16 kilometers (28.06 miles) held by the Opportunity rover.1 Remarkably, Perseverance accomplished this feat in just five and a half years, whereas Opportunity required nearly 15 years to set its predecessor record.1
The rover's accelerated pace owes much to its advanced autonomous navigation system, AutoNav, which has been responsible for over 90 percent of Perseverance's total mileage.1 On a single Martian day, the rover has traveled as far as 412 meters (1,351 feet).1 Steven Lee, project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, noted that "the original mission called for no more than 12.4 miles of driving. We've blown well past that."1 The rover's mission has been extended through the end of 2028.1
Throughout its journey across Jezero Crater, Perseverance has collected 29 rock and regolith samples while exploring the western rim of the crater, where ancient rocks formed approximately 4 billion years ago are providing scientists with evidence of Mars' past habitability.1 The rover operates on its 2,006th Martian day as it continues its scientific investigations.1
