NASA's new tech finally lets the Perseverance rover track its location in real time
SMRTR summary
NASA's Perseverance rover successfully tested new Mars Global Localization technology that allows it to determine its exact location within 10 inches by matching 360-degree camera images with orbital data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. This breakthrough eliminates costly delays where the rover previously had to stop and wait over a day for Earth-based navigation instructions when location errors exceeded 100 feet.
