Footage of the Curiosity rover's final moments of touchdown on Mars has been released by Nasa.
The space agency posted the video on its website along with audio from mission control.
It shows the heat shield falling away, before the ground grows larger in view as Curiosity is lowered by cables inside an ancient Martian crater.
"Touchdown confirmed" is heard, followed by cheers.
Curiosity is the first spacecraft to record a landing on another planet. The six-wheel vehicle arrived on August 5 to begin a two-year mission to examine whether the Martian environment is hospitable for microbial life.
Earlier this week it made its first test drive on the planet.
Nasa previously released a low-quality video of Curiosity's landing. The latest video is higher quality, but is incomplete and missing several frames.
