POT completed the first rover software update in 7 years curiosity who explores Mars.
The responsible organization was the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which aims to give the robot new years of life, despite the fact that the state-of-the-art Perseverance installation is running in parallel.
Curiosity Updated
Among the 180 changes implemented in the update, one of the biggest improvements is improving the ride quality of the rugged ATV, allowing it to overcome obstacles faster.
curiosity it will now process the images it receives along the way faster, accelerating its movement across the Martian surface. You won’t be able to drive as fast as persistence, but it will improve your travel time, which will also mean you’ll use less energy per day.
“The fact that we spend less time idling between driving stages also means we use less energy every day. And although we are almost 11 years old, we are still implementing new ideas to use more available energy for scientific activities,” says Jonathan Denison from JPL.
Other changes include improvements to the way curiosity sends messages to JPL and a simplification of computer code that has been modified by numerous robot fixes over the years.
hold the wheels
The recent software update will also result in less wear on the rover’s aluminum wheels, which have started showing negative signs since 2023.
When the engineers realized that sharp rocks were destroying tracks, they developed an algorithm to improve traction and reduce tire wear by adjusting the ATV’s speed based on the rocks it passes over.
The patch will also improve the efficiency of ground pilot-drivers. curiosity and this will pave the way for easier operation of the manipulator.
