It has since been collecting samples and testing the environment, providing information for future missions. This video dramatically follows the parachute descent and landing.

But wait, there's more!
The view of the underside of the parachute in the video shows an interesting design with an intriguing story of its own. it's not just a random pattern. It turns out that the parachute engineers provided a "hidden" message using binary code. Check the NASA link at https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/spacecraft/rover/markings/ to find out about the message and learn more about the story.
