Raleigh, N.C. — A man accused of threatening others with a chainsaw at a Raleigh hotel is in custody.
Sunday around 1: 30 p.m., Raleigh police said they “have a suspect in custody in connection with the incident.”
Police surrounded the Red Roof Inn on South Saunders Street after responding to a disturbance call on Saturday night at 9:15.
The man threatened several people, but no one was hurt. Police said the man used a chainsaw to menace victims. The man in question eventually left the hotel in what appeared to be a dark-colored sedan.
Security footage captured a glimpse of the man, who was wearing a dark green baseball cap, a long white coat, dark jeans, and white shoes.
The motive surrounding the man’s actions are not known. The suspect is wanted for attempted kidnapping, aggravated assault and damage to property.
NASA’s Perseverance rover is only a few days away from its daring seven-minute landing on Mars, where it will touch down on the most challenging terrain ever targeted by a Red Planet mission.
On Feb. 18, the car-size Perseverance — the heart of NASA’s Mars 2020 mission — will attempt to land inside the 28-mile-wide (45 kilometers) Jezero Crater. The entry, descent and landing (EDL) phase of a Mars mission is often referred to as “seven minutes of terror,” because the sequence is so harrowing and happens faster than radio signals can reach Earth from Mars. That means the spacecraft is on its own once it enters the Martian atmosphere — and a gripping new video from NASA shows how the rover will pull off such an amazing feat.
“Space always has a way of throwing us curveballs and surprising us,” Swati Mohan, Mars 2020 guidance, navigation and control operations lead at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California, says in the video. “There are many things that have to go right to get Perseverance on to the ground safely.”

The EDL phase begins when the spacecraft reaches the top of the Martian atmosphere and ends with a rocket-powered sky crane lowering Perseverance safely to the surface of the Red Planet. The entire EDL sequence takes roughly seven minutes, during which many crucial steps must take place. The stakes are very high on Thursday for Mars 2020, which will hunt for signs of ancient life and collect samples for humanity’s first interplanetary sample-return campaign.
“There is a lot counting on this,” Al Chen of JPL, Mars 2020 entry, descent and landing lead, says in the video. “This is the first leg of our sample return relay race — there is a lot of work on the line.”
Shortly before reaching the Red Planet, Perseverance will shed its cruise stage, which helped fly the rover to Mars over the last 6.5 months. The next big milestone is atmospheric entry, when the rover will barrel into the Martian skies at about 12,100 mph (19,500 kph).

The vehicle is equipped with a heat shield that will protect the rover from the intense heat generated during its initial descent and also help slow the spacecraft down. At about 7 miles (11 kilometers) above the surface, the spacecraft will deploy its 70.5-foot-wide (21.5 meters) supersonic parachute — the largest ever sent to another planet, according to the video.
Soon after, the heat shield will separate and drop away from the spacecraft, exposing Perseverance to the Martian atmosphere for the first time and jumpstarting the vehicle’s Terrain-Relative Navigation system, which is a new autopilot technology that will help guide the rover to a safe landing on Mars.
“Perseverance will be the first mission to use Terrain-Relative Navigation,” Mohan says in the video. “While it’s descending on the parachute, it will actually be taking images of the surface of Mars and determining where to go based on what it sees. This is finally like landing with your eyes open — having this new technology really allows Perseverance to land in much more challenging terrain than Curiosity, or any previous Mars mission, could.”

Perseverance’s EDL sequence is very similar to that of NASA’s Curiosity rover, which landed in 2012. However, Perseverance is slightly bigger and equipped with more advanced scientific instruments, including new technology that will help guide the spacecraft through its difficult landing.
Scientists believe an 820-foot-deep (250 m) lake filled Jezero Crater about 3.9 billion to 3.5 billion years ago. The area also has a prominent river delta, where water once flowed through and deposited lots of sediment. While this landing site offers geologically rich terrain, the rocks, craters and cliffs make it a very challenging place for Perseverance to land.
“The science team identified Jezero Crater as basically an ancient lake bed and one of the most promising places to look for evidence of ancient microbial life, and to collect samples for future return to Earth,” JPL’s Matt Smith, flight director for Mars 2020 cruise operations, says in the video. “The problem is, it is a much more hazardous place to land.”
During the final minute before Perseverance lands on the Red Planet, the mission’s sky-crane descent stage will fire up eight retrorockets, or Mars landing engines. Then, the sky crane will lower the rover safely to the ground on three nylon cables. Once the rover has made landfall, it will cut the cables connecting it to the descent stage, which will then fly off and crash-land safely away from Perseverance.
“Surviving that seven minutes is really just the beginning for Perseverance,” Chen says in the video. “Its job — being the first leg of sample-return; to go look for those signs of past life on Mars — all that can’t start until we get Perseverance safely to the ground, and then that’s when the real mission begins.”

Despite having bridged a gap of nearly 300 million miles between Earth and Mars since its launch last year, NASA’s Perseverance rover still has its most perilous moments ahead.
Perseverance’s July launch from Cape Canaveral on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket and its cruise toward the Red Planet, while complex, were just the beginning. On Thursday, the car-size rover and its descent equipment will kick off an autonomous series of operations designed to slow the approach from 12,100 mph to just 1.7 mph.
Mars Perseverance: What are the 7 minutes of terror?

The fiery, seven-minute atmospheric entry and touchdown is handled entirely by Perseverance’s suite of onboard technologies. Even if something were to go wrong, the 11-minute delay in communications between Earth and Mars means no human intervention is possible.
NASA’s moniker for the landing phase speaks to its white-knuckled nature: the $2.4 billion mission designed to hunt for signs of life will first have to endure “seven minutes of terror.”
“Just looking at that and thinking about landing really gets the blood flowing for me,” said Al Chen, NASA’s entry, descent and landing lead at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. “Because of how long it takes for radio signals to get back from Mars all the way to Earth, Perseverance has to do this all on her own. We can’t help her.”
Seven Minutes of Terror: How NASA’s Perseverance rover will land on Mars
In this animation, NASA’s Perseverance rover is seen during its “Seven Minutes of Terror,” or the entry, descent, and landing process. Using a unique “Sky Crane Maneuver,” the 10-foot rover will land on Mars on Feb. 18, 2021.
Florida Today
Jezero Crater, the site selected for its scientific potential, is easily the most dangerous site NASA has ever tried to land a rover. But the payoff – potentially gleaning answers about the origins of life itself – is worth it.
“Success is never assured,” Chen said. “And that’s especially true when we’re trying to land the biggest, heaviest and most complicated rover we’ve ever built for the most dangerous site we’ve ever attempted to land.”
ATMOSPHERIC ENTRY
The “seven minutes of terror” begin with entry into Mars’ ultra-thin atmosphere at 3:48 p.m. EST on Feb. 18.
By now, the capsule holding Perseverance has already shed the cruise stage, which helped propel the 2,200-pound rover across the 293-million-mile expanse. Small thrusters on the back of the protective shell fire to adjust the trajectory toward Jezero.
Seventy-five seconds after entry begins, the heat shield encounters the peak moment of heating caused by friction between the vehicle and atmosphere. Temperatures are expected to reach about 2,400 degrees.
Three minutes later – now more than halfway through the terror – a 70-foot-wide parachute deploys.
Perseverance is still about 37,000 feet above Mars’ surface – and, at a velocity of 940 mph, falling like a rock.

THE DESCENT
Still one minute before touchdown, the capsule holding Perseverance is being dragged down by the charred, heavy heat shield.
Dropping the heat shield from the bottom of the capsule reveals a suite of radar modules and cameras, which work together with software to make sure Perseverance is put down in a safe location. This system, called Terrain-Relative Navigation, is essentially an autopilot that uses previously obtained images of Mars to make sure the rover is targeting the right landing zone.
As Perseverance’s onboard computers crunch the numbers related to its position and descent, what is perhaps the riskiest part of the process comes to the forefront: the Sky Crane Maneuver.
THE LANDING
Now just one minute to landing, Perseverance drops out of the protective shell and plummets toward the surface 7,000 feet below.
But the rover isn’t naked – wrapped around it is a metal web of equipment known as the descent stage with propellant tanks, sensors and eight retrorockets. The rockets begin firing when the spacecraft is traveling about 190 mph and quickly cut the vertical speed to a mere 1.7 mph.
Perseverance, now at 66 feet, has one last ride to the ground: a series of strong nylon cords that slowly lower it to the surface. Dust kicked up from the continuously firing retrorockets rises from the landing site just as the rover touches the ground.
Once the descent stage senses a successful touchdown, explosive components sever the nylon cords, and the retrorockets continue firing to direct it away from the landing site, after which it crashes into the surface.
Now safely on the ground, Perseverance will begin transmitting its first signals and images across the void. After about three months of equipment checkouts, the 10-foot vehicle will roam the surface at a blistering 0.1 mph, looking for answers to science’s oldest questions.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – When NASA’s Mars rover Perseverance, a robotic astrobiology lab packed inside a space capsule, hits the final stretch of its seven-month journey from Earth this week, it is set to emit a radio alert as it streaks into the thin Martian atmosphere.

By the time that signal reaches mission managers some 127 million miles (204 million km) away at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) near Los Angeles, Perseverance will already have landed on the Red Planet – hopefully in one piece.
The six-wheeled rover is expected to take seven minutes to descend from the top of the Martian atmosphere to the planet’s surface in less time than the 11-minute-plus radio transmission to Earth. Thus, Thursday’s final, self-guided descent of the rover spacecraft is set to occur during a white-knuckled interval that JPL engineers affectionately refer to as the “seven minutes of terror.”
Al Chen, head of the JPL descent and landing team, called it the most critical and most dangerous part of the $2.7 billion mission.
“Success is never assured,” Chen told a recent news briefing. “And that’s especially true when we’re trying to land the biggest, heaviest and most complicated rover we’ve ever built to the most dangerous site we’ve ever attempted to land at.”
Much is riding on the outcome. Building on discoveries of nearly 20 U.S. outings to Mars dating back to Mariner 4’s 1965 flyby, Perseverance may set the stage for scientists to conclusively show whether life has existed beyond Earth, while paving the way for eventual human missions to the fourth planet from the sun. A safe landing, as always, comes first.
Success will hinge on a complex sequence of events unfolding without a hitch – from inflation of a giant, supersonic parachute to deployment of a jet-powered “sky crane” that will descend to a safe landing spot and hover above the surface while lowering the rover to the ground on a tether.
“Perseverance has to do this all on her own,” Chen said. “We can’t help it during this period.”
If all goes as planned, NASA’s team would receive a follow-up radio signal shortly before 1 p.m. Pacific time confirming that Perseverance landed on Martian soil at the edge of an ancient, long-vanished river delta and lake bed.
SCIENCE ON THE SURFACE
From there, the nuclear battery-powered rover, roughly the size of a small SUV, will embark on the primary objective of its two-year mission – engaging a complex suite of instruments in the search for signs of microbial life that may have flourished on Mars billions of years ago.
Advanced power tools will drill samples from Martian rock and seal them into cigar-sized tubes for eventual return to Earth for further analysis – the first such specimens ever collected by humankind from the surface of another planet.
Two future missions to retrieve those samples and fly them back to Earth are in the planning stages by NASA, in collaboration with the European Space Agency.
Perseverance, the fifth and by far most sophisticated rover vehicle NASA has sent to Mars since Sojourner in 1997, also incorporates several pioneering features not directly related to astrobiology.
Among them is a small drone helicopter, nicknamed Ingenuity, that will test surface-to-surface powered flight on another world for the first time. If successful, the four-pound (1.8-kg) whirlybird could pave the way for low-altitude aerial surveillance of Mars during later missions.
Another experiment is a device to extract pure oxygen from carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere, a tool that could prove invaluable for future human life support on Mars and for producing rocket propellant to fly astronauts home.
‘SPECTACULAR’ BUT TREACHEROUS
The mission’s first hurdle after a 293-million-mile (472-million-km) flight from Earth is delivering the rover intact to the floor of Jerezo Crater, a 28-mile-wide (45-km-wide) expanse that scientists believe may harbor a rich trove of fossilized microorganisms.
“It is a spectacular landing site,” project scientist Ken Farley told reporters on a teleconference.
What makes the crater’s rugged terrain – deeply carved by long-vanished flows of liquid water – so tantalizing as a research site also makes it treacherous as a landing zone.
The descent sequence, an upgrade from NASA’s last rover mission in 2012, begins as Perseverance, encased in a protective shell, pierces the Martian atmosphere at 12,000 miles per hour (19,300 km per hour), nearly 16 times the speed of sound on Earth.
After a parachute deployment to slow its plunge, the descent capsule’s heat shield is set to fall away to release a jet-propelled “sky crane” hovercraft with the rover attached to its belly.
Once the parachute is jettisoned, the sky crane’s jet thrusters are set to immediately fire, slowing its descent to walking speed as it nears the crater floor and self-navigates to a smooth landing site, steering clear of boulders, cliffs and sand dunes.
Hovering over the surface, the sky crane is due to lower Perseverance on nylon tethers, sever the chords when the rover’s wheels reach the surface, then fly off to crash a safe distance away.
Should everything work, deputy project manager Matthew Wallace said, post-landing exuberance would be on full display at JPL despite COVID-19 safety protocols that have kept close contacts within mission control to a minimum.
“I don’t think COVID is going to be able to stop us from jumping up and down and fist-bumping,” Wallace said.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday announced he is removing Yemen’s Houthi rebels from the U.S.’s list of foreign terrorist organizations next week, despite a recent attack on Saudi Arabia.
The Iran-aligned rebel group hit a Saudi airport with a drone strike in retaliation for the country’s involvement in Yemen’s six-year civil war, which has resulted in the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.
Saudi Arabia backed the Yemen government in 2015, propagating a proxy war between the Arab nation and Iran.
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO REMOVE TERRORIST DESIGNATION FOR YEMEN’S HOUTHI MILITIA
Blinken’s decision is a reversal of an 11th-hour order by Donald Trump, enacted the day before he left office on Jan. 19 in an attempt to cut off any support or weapons funding to the Iran-backed group – but which humanitarian organizations said could worsen the crisis in Yemen.
“This decision is a recognition of the dire humanitarian situation in Yemen,” Blinken said Friday. “We have listened to warnings from the United Nations, humanitarian groups, and bipartisan members of Congress, among others, that the designations could have a devastating impact on Yemenis’ access to basic commodities like food and fuel.”
But the State Department’s top official condemned the recent Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabian civilians and said Houthi leaders Abdul Malik al-Houthi, Abd al-Khaliq Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and Abdullah Yahya al-Hakim will remain under sanction restrictions by the U.S. and the United Nations.
Blinken said U.S. security officials are “clear-eyed” about aggressive Houthi actions, which have included “taking control of large areas of Yemen by force, attacking U.S. partners in the Gulf, [and] kidnapping and torturing citizens of the United States,” along with other malign activities, like diverting humanitarian aid.
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo condemned the U.S. decision to revoke the terrorist designation, calling it “a gift to the Iranians,” and said it “will allow the Houthis to continue to foment terror around the world.”
THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS REMAIN STRANDED IN YEMEN AMID GROWING HUMANITARIAN CRISIS
But while Blinken promised to continue to support U.S. allies in the Gulf, Biden has said he would be ending all military aid for Saudi Arabia.
“This war has to end, and to underscore our commitment we are ending all American support for offensive operations in the war in Yemen, including relevant arm sales,” Biden said in an address from the State Department in early February.
The United Nations has estimated some 24 million people — 80 percent of Yemen’s population — are in need of humanitarian assistance.

Blinken said the U.S. acknowledges that Houthi aggression continues to “prolong this conflict and exact serious humanitarian costs.” But added the U.S. and the United Nations hold the “strong belief that there is no military solution to this conflict.”
NASA’s Mars 2020 mission is closing in on its landing date, which is expected to be just a few weeks away.
The mission, which includes the Perseverance rover as well as the Mars Ingenuity helicopter, depends on a successful landing that is largely out of NASA’s hands at the moment.
The landing sequence is mostly automated, so NASA engineers can do little but sit back and hope for the best.
When NASA launched its Mars 2020 mission last year it was the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. The mission, which has been traveling through space for the past several months, is slated to arrive on the Martian surface on February 18th, and NASA is counting down the seconds until that touchdown happens.
One of the biggest hurdles that still exists between NASA and a successful Mars 2020 mission is the landing of the rover capsule itself. The so-called “seven minutes of terror” that NASA often speaks about regarding the landing is essentially a seven-minute window where the spacecraft will begin its descent and, if all goes as planned, deliver the most technologically advanced machine ever built for space exploration to the surface of the planet.

In a new blog post, NASA offers a glimpse at where the mission stands, and the potential pitfalls in its way:
The spacecraft has about 25.6 million miles (41.2 million kilometers) remaining in its 292.5-million-mile (470.8-million-kilometer) journey and is currently closing that distance at 1.6 miles per second (2.5 kilometers per second). Once at the top of the Red Planet’s atmosphere, an action-packed seven minutes of descent awaits – complete with temperatures equivalent to the surface of the Sun, a supersonic parachute inflation, and the first ever autonomous guided landing on Mars.
Because of the distance between Mars and Earth, controlling the spacecraft in realtime is out of the question. Commands would take minutes to make it to their destination, so it’s up to the spacecraft to account for any variables that could threaten the descent and landing.
If the spacecraft is successful, and the landing goes off without a hitch, the potential for new discoveries on Mars is huge. The Perseverance rover is the most advanced piece of hardware ever sent to Mars, and it will be able to tell scientists things about the Red Planet that have never been studied in such a way before.
“Perseverance’s sophisticated science instruments will not only help in the hunt for fossilized microbial life, but also expand our knowledge of Martian geology and its past, present, and future,” Caltech’s Ken Farley, a scientist working on the Mars 2020 mission, said in a statement. “Our science team has been busy planning how best to work with what we anticipate will be a firehose of cutting-edge data. That’s the kind of ‘problem’ we are looking forward to.”
