The planet Mars enters the center of attention again today after a stunning video from there was published by NASA, taking the whole world by surprise thanks to the information it displays. More precisely, those from NASA reveal to us through this new video from the planet Mars how the Perseverance robot moves on the surface of the cosmic body in the missions it must carry out in order to reveal more mysteries recorded there.
NASA has published a multitude of pictures and video clips from the planet Mars after sending its new robot and helicopter that are meant to explore the surface of the cosmic body, and there are more to come. The robots on the planet Mars were inactive for a period of 2 weeks due to the way it moves through the solar system and passed behind the sun, during which communications with those from NASA were completely interrupted.
INCREDIBLE VIDEO from Planet Mars Published by NASA
The video clip above shows us how difficult it is for the Perseverance robot to move on the ground on the planet Mars, and this is normal if we consider that there are only bumps and rocks over which it must pass. What you need to know about this video from the planet Mars is that the playback speed has been increased by 200x, so the movement itself is much, much slower than we see it, and that says a lot about the environment there.
This video shows NASA's Perseverance Mars rover using its automatic navigation technology, or AutoNav, to drive 548 feet (167 meters) on September 12, 2021, the mission's 200th Martian, or ground, day. AutoNav allows the rover to autonomously plan its route around rocks or other obstacles on its way to a predetermined destination. The video was taken by the rover's navigation cameras; they are capable of color, but black and white images are better for navigation. The video was sped up about 200 times with about 30 seconds between frames.”
We already know that NASA prepared extremely long before sending its robots to the surface of the planet Mars, and this in the conditions in which scientists struggled a lot before preparing them for sending. Controlling these robots is also very difficult because of the 7-minute delay between sending and receiving information between Earth and the planet Mars, most of their actions being done automatically, without NASA control.
The planet Mars continues to be in the attention of people all over the world thanks to the active missions that exist there, and as these are ongoing, we will learn more and more in the coming months.
