A new technology lets NASA’s Mars rover pinpoint its position within inches, drive farther on its own, and speed up exploration.

NASA has mapped every inch of Mars, so positioning consists of the rover looking for geologic features and then comparing ...

Nasa's Perseverance rover has completed five years on Mars and received a new autonomous navigation system. This technology allows the rover to pinpoint its location without help from Earth.

American space agency NASA announced it found a new way to allow the Perseverance rover to determine its position on Mars by itself.

Mars Global Localization (MGL), a tech similar to GPS on Earth, lets Perseverance nail down its coordinates to about 10 inches.

With the help of a new optical system, the Perseverance rover can determine its position on Mars autonomously and much more accurately than before.

Nasa has developed a new technology that allows Perseverance, its most recently deployed Mars rover, to locate itself on the planet with an accuracy within 25cm.
