NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover just learned how to multitask
Thirteen years after landing on Mars, NASA’s Curiosity rover is running smarter and more efficiently than ever. With new autonomy and multitasking capabilities, it’s maximizing the output from its long-lasting nuclear power source while exploring a striking region of boxwork formations that may hold clues to ancient water and possible microbial life.
NASA rover spots rock shaped like medieval helmet on Mars
NASA’s Perseverance rover stationed on Mars spotted a dome-shaped rock with a striking resemblance to a helmet used during medieval times. The martian rock, captured by Perseverance’s primary camera on Aug. 5, is pointed at the top and dome-shaped on top of a flared brim. It has a rough, textured surface covered in small bumps.
With its rust-colored surface, Mars has more than earned its nickname, the Red Planet. But Perseverance has offered a new glimpse.
NASA prepares for its second year-long Mars simulated mission on Friday, August 22, at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
