This repository contains the code that runs on the Raspberry Pi (RPi) to control the JPL open source rover (osr). The rover runs on ROS2 (tested on Foxy), and uses Python3. Please refer to README ...

The latest evidence that Mars was once a warmer, wetter world comes from a surprising place—the hidden subsurface depths of Jezero Crater—rather than its surface, which NASA’s Perseverance rover has ...

Ever lose connection to GPS? Sometimes you're in a tunnel, sometimes your phone is acting up, and sometimes you're a robotic explorer on another planet hundreds of millions of miles away from the ...

New photos captured by NASA's Curiosity rover show that Mars' giant, spiderweb-like "boxwork" features are covered in tiny, never-before-seen nodules that bear a striking resemblance to arachnid eggs.

Maybe David Bowie was right with his spiders from Mars? Space scientists say they have spotted a hilly landscape that looks like spiderwebs on the Red Planet. NASA’s Curiosity rover has spent six ...

For about six months, NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has been exploring a region full of geologic formations called boxwork, low ridges standing roughly 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) tall with sandy ...

Imagine you're all alone, driving along in a rocky, unforgiving desert with no roads, no map, no GPS, and no more than one phone call a day for someone to inform you exactly where you are. That's what ...

On Earth, we can punch an address into Google Maps and be on our way in seconds. But plotting a course for NASA's Perseverance rover, 140 million miles away on Mars, is significantly more difficult.

NASA’s Perseverance rover has achieved a major first by driving across Mars using routes planned by artificial intelligence rather than human operators. Credit: NASA An AI just helped guide a NASA ...
