After nearly 300 million miles (470 million km), NASA's Perseverance rover completes its journey to Mars on Feb. 18, 2021. But to reach the surface of the Red Planet, it has to survive the harrowing final phase known as Entry, Descent and Landing.

The best (and worst) Mars landings of all time

Mars2020 rover 'Perseverance' descending on its parachute just prior to landing in Jezero Crater photographed by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's HiRISE camera as it passed overhead, February 18, 2021.



View of the rover taken from the Skycrane descent stage as the rover dangled on cables just before landing.



First high-resolution color photo of the landing site from Perseverance's hazard camera (Hazcam). One of the rover's wheels is visible in the lower left in shadow.

They could use nuclear powered rocket.
Just make sure it flies over Africa in case of explosion.

A nuclear rocket engine would sure reduce travel time to Mars. With chemical propulsion and a standard Hohmann transfer orbit, the transit time from Earth to Mars is around six months.
