Amazing on Mars! Now NASA's rover comes in self-driving mode, crosses rocks

NASA's rover has started moving on Mars. Till now it was being controlled from the Earth, but now it will move automatically on Mars with the help of Autonav software. This has been confirmed by the rover itself.

Something amazing has happened on Mars. Many interesting information has been obtained about NASA's rover present on this planet. NASA's rover has started moving on Mars. Till now it was being controlled from the Earth, but now with the help of software Autonav it will move automatically on Mars. This has been confirmed by the rover itself. The rover has sent a message to NASA, stating that it has used self-driving mode to move on the rocky road of Mars. Through this mode he crossed the rocks.

The rover crossed the curved part of Mars by using self-driving features. The rover has covered the surface area in less than a third of the time.

What will be the benefit of this?

Now, due to the new developments, the rover will start giving many new information. For example, it will start searching for those parts of the rock which are to be brought to Earth for investigation. Recently the rover reached the boulder area. Which is called Snowdrift Peak. It is more than 1700 feet wide. After this update, NASA's expectations for its rover have increased.

How does self driving system work?

The self-driving system of NASA's rover helps in determining general paths. Apart from this, it keeps an eye on the fine points of navigation. Due to this, driving time is reduced to reach the area where scientists want to send the rover. NASA has now started moving towards its objective through the rover.

After landing in February 2021, Perseverance made a record on Mars in terms of speed. AutoNav Software had given many information about the achievements of the rover, which was published in the July issue of Science Robotics.

The capabilities of the AutoNav system help the rover with reducing driving time between areas of scientific interest. The rover's trip through Snowdrift Peak took about 12 Martian days, which was faster than the Curiosity rover, says Del Sesto, who worked on Perseverance's AutoNav software for seven years.

Now the rover will reach that part of the rock where the scientists have sent it to reach. Will take samples of rocks from there. Through these samples, NASA will get many interesting information related to Mars and many mysteries related to this planet will be solved.

Vandi Verma, Chief Engineer of Robotic Operations, says, our rover presents an example that shows how two brains work together.
