Mounting the suspension for the wheels of the rover. Of course, it would be possible to simplify everything, to make a rover with a simple wheel system, but as always, we are not looking for simple solutions
Check out this Martian panorama, captured by Curiosity two days ago, on Sol 4174. It is made of 50 adjacent images, each 1328x1184 pixels. Let's go for some zooms👇
The most surprising revelation from NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover — that methane is seeping from the surface of Gale Crater — has scientists scratching their heads.
Curiosity finds odd rocks with "dragon scales" texture.
"We have seen a lot of layered rocks over the last 12 years on Mars, but these ones really stand out by the dizzying pattern they trace on the rock surfaces."
Absolutely fascinating Stereo3D view of this Martian landscape.
Many thanks to @PaulHammond51 for finding the right-eye view from the rover's R-Nav Cam.
To get the Stereo3D effect, just let your eyes' line of sight be parallel (not cross-eyed) with left eye in front of left image and right eye in front of right image.
See the sundial and color swatches of Perseverance in Stereo3D, like if you were on board the #rover. Just let your eyes' line of sight be parallel (not cross-eyed) with left eye in front of left image and right eye in front of right image.
A team of European scientists have published the most detailed geologic map of Oxia Planum – the landing site for ESA’s Rosalind Franklin rover on Mars. This thorough look at the #geography and geological history of the area will help the rover scout the once water-rich terrain, in the search for signs of past and present life.
It's on from today until 24.03., & features different tasks the rover has to perform everyday. The winning team is chosen by points & announced on the last day. This is a competition from the Australian Space Agency (ASA).
Really like the iNav tooling, but unfortunately does not support PPM anymore, so can't use it for the receivers I have. And not going to convert this to SBUS with an additional MCU. Using #ardupilot... and works perfectly with the SpeedyBee F405 Wing and Wing Mini!
