Communications

+

+ Sojourner is unique among the 4 rovers to successfully deploy on Mars in that it required + it's lander to stay in communication with Earth. The rover was not equipped with a high gain + antenna, which is required in order to communicate with Earth over large distances. +

+

+ This limitation forced the rover to stay within a certain range of the lander, and + throughout it's lifetime on Mars, it never traveled more than a few dozen feet from the + lander. +

+

Tools

+

+ Sojourner was designed to study the surface of Mars by collecting and analyzing rock + samples, taking pictures and more using the following tools: +

+
    +
  • + An APXS for determining + elemental composition of soil, rocks and other materials on the surface of Mars. +
    • +
  • + Rover Control Software for coordinating movement, studying terrain features, + and viewing the nearby area in 3D space. +
    • +
  • + Three cameras, one color, two monochrome. However, the operators primarily + used images from the lander's IMP camera system, as it had higher quality on top of + having a height advantage over the rover. +
    • +
+ + +

Autonomy

+

+ Sojourner was an important step in Robotics due to the nature of the mission. + With such a long distance between Mars and Earth, radio communications took around 14 + minutes to receive, and then another 14 minutes to send back. +

+

+ As such, human telegraphed movements too slow for the mission, and while complete autopilot + is impossible for such a complex mission, the rovers, landers, and spacecraft made by NASA + had to be programmer with autopilot. +

+

+ To solve this problem, Sojourner, along with every rover to land on Mars, is equipped with + software dedicated to autonomously moving the rover across the martian surface. +

+

+ While Sojourner was comparatively basic in it's software's autonomy, the software was + helpful to operators in visualizing and telegraphing instructions across the rocky terrain + of Ares Vallis. +
