The Mars 2020 spacecraft landed the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter successfully in Jezero crater on Feb. 18, 2021. The entry, descent, and landing (EDL) sequence of the spacecraft largely leveraged the previous Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission. The atmospheric modeling approach for Mars 2020 was also borrowed from MSL, and consisted of utilizing two mesoscale atmospheric models of the landing site during the Martian season of landing, and using that data to create a statistical model of the pressure, density, temperature, and winds that Mars 2020 could have expected to encounter. Additionally, Mars 2020 contained an optical sensor - Landing Vision System (LVS) - that relied on taking pictures of the terrain, and was sensitive to the dust opacity of the atmosphere. This paper will briefly describe the pre-flight atmospheric models used for Mars 2020, but will focus on post-flight assessment of these models by comparing them to near-landing day orbiter sounder data and onboard atmospheric measurements. Suggestions for potential model changes will be also discussed.
