This great!  Glad it landed safely and cant wait to see more pics and of course the trackable code! :) 

 

There are a few people at the university where I work that contributed systems to Perseverance (and previously worked on Spirit and Opportunity), specifically the Mastcam-Z camera.  

 

I wonder how long it's going to take for the picture of the tracking code to make it into Facebook/Reddit/etc.

Does anyone know when the post will be made public and the TB to be unlocked?

While only HQ knows for sure, I would imagine it won't happen until after the WATSON camera is unstowed and takes a picture of the SHERLOC calibration target with the tracking code on it.

I read this on the Trackable Page:

A few days after Perseverance lands on Mars, the camera will take a picture of the tracking code itself and send that picture back to Earth. You can log the Rover by finding the code in that picture. "
