The rover Perseverance just landed last week. HiRISE can take high-resolution images of the surface of Mars. Will it be able to take pictures of Perseverance? (Has it already taken images of the Perseverance landing site?)

Here's HiRISE's picture of Perseverance and EDL hardware on the ground:

    Note that Perseverance is the middle dot of the three. The other two white spots in that box are blast effects from the skycrane. – Mark Feb 25 '21 at 03:35
