the V2 for the perseverance vehicle is now active it launched 3 crew to orbit , they performed an orbital EVA and returned to the spacecraft. soon after they de-orbited over droo's southern hemisphere and returned to the launch site once again.. this was the first crewed launch of the perseverance programme
as you may have noticed the universal docking port has been removed and replaced with the seating arrangements for the crew. the fairings on top have been removed and replaced with a door. the canadarm extension has been removed.

@SamTheFox A reaction control system (RCS) is a spacecraft system that uses thrusters and reaction control wheels to provide attitude control, and sometimes propulsion. Use of diverted engine thrust to provide stable attitude control of a short-or-vertical takeoff and landing aircraft below conventional winged flight speeds, such as with the Harrier "jump jet", may also be referred to as a reaction control system.
An RCS is capable of providing small amounts of thrust in any desired direction or combination of directions. An RCS is also capable of providing torque to allow control of rotation (roll, pitch, and yaw).
Reaction control systems often use combinations of large and small (vernier) thrusters, to allow different levels of response.
Spacecraft reaction control systems are used for:attitude control during re-entry;
stationkeeping in orbit;
close maneuvering during docking procedures;
control of orientation, or "pointing the nose" of the craft;
a backup means of deorbiting;
ullage motors to prime the fuel system for a main engine burn.
Because spacecraft only contain a finite amount of fuel and there is little chance to refill them, alternative reaction control systems have been developed so that fuel can be conserved. For stationkeeping, some spacecraft (particularly those in geosynchronous orbit) use high-specific impulse engines such as arcjets, ion thrusters, or Hall effect thrusters. To control orientation, a few spacecraft, including the ISS, use momentum wheels which spin to control rotational rates on the vehicle.The Mercury space capsule and Gemini reentry module both used groupings of nozzles to provide attitude control. The thrusters were located off their center of mass, thus providing a torque to rotate the capsule. The Gemini capsule was also capable of adjusting its reentry course by rolling, which directed its off-center lifting force.[clarification needed] The Mercury thrusters used a hydrogen peroxide monopropellant which turned to steam when forced through a tungsten screen, and the Gemini thrusters used hypergolic mono-methyl hydrazine fuel oxidized with nitrogen tetroxide.
The Gemini spacecraft was also equipped with a hypergolic Orbit Attitude and Maneuvering System, which made it the first crewed spacecraft with translation as well as rotation capability. In-orbit attitude control was achieved by firing pairs of eight 25-pound-force (110 N) thrusters located around the circumference of its adapter module at the extreme a

@Plasma01 probably typing limit, so someone doesnt make a really really long message preventing comments below from being seen, they could just add “read more” button. Also i copy pasted it from wikipedia lol.
