On February 18, 2021, the Perseverance rover landed in Jezero Crater on Mars, transported by the Mars 2020 spacecraft on a nearly seven-month journey to the Red Planet. The execution of three propulsive maneuvers during the interplanetary cruise phase was required to remove the launch-injection bias and deliver the spacecraft to the Mars atmospheric entry point. This paper focuses on the maneuver implementation and verification process between the navigation and spacecraft teams. Additionally, this paper discusses the execution error models that were used to determine maneuver performance and delivery accuracy at the atmospheric entry interface point.
