How tall is Perseverance rover?

NASA gives Perseverance an approximate height of 2.2 meters. This overall dimension runs above the body to the raised mast.

Perseverance rover, Mars 2020 · raised-mast configuration. Approximate overall height · wheels to raised mast: 2.2 meters, illustrative estimate.
Interpretive original intact rover with deployed mast and arm below its top. The level wheel-contact baseline sets the height reference; lateral equipment proportions remain illustrative.

A little more perspective

The rover-components specification lists 2.2 meters alongside 7 feet. Both expressions are rounded, so the metric figure controls this comparison. Equal listed heights do not make Perseverance and Curiosity identical designs: their mechanical and scientific equipment differ.

The selected illustration keeps the rover on a level baseline with the mast deployed. The arm stays below the highest structure. This is a configuration reference rather than a terrain-dependent measurement or a representation of the rover’s present surface condition.

Quick facts

Perseverance uses NASA’s approximate 2.2-meter overall height. Its raised mast reaches the same selected height as Curiosity, despite differences in their wheels, instruments and sampling equipment.

For a presentation or a research note, include the subject, the measurement definition, and the assumed measurement. A picture alone cannot explain those choices. The comparison guide explains how to export an image and its source notes together.

Sources and measurement notes

The selected mast-height reference matches Curiosity’s 2.2 meters; the two rovers remain distinct.
