AI Takes the Wheel as Perseverance Rover Navigates Mars on Its Own
NASA’s Perseverance rover has achieved a major milestone by navigating Martian terrain using artificial intelligence alone. In December 2025, AI-generated routes guided the rover safely across Jezero Crater, proving that autonomous navigation can dramatically speed up exploration and increase scientific returns on future planetary missions.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Poised for Years of Exploration Across Jezero Crater
NASA’s Perseverance rover, in excellent condition, is ready for long-term Mars exploration. Using autonomous driving, it has travelled nearly 25 miles, studied olivine-rich rocks, and collected samples revealing potential signs of past microbial life. The rover now heads to Lac de Charmes for further scientific investigation, promising years of d...

NASA's New Horizons Proves Deep-Space Navigation via Stellar Parallax
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft accomplished a world-first by performing a deep-space stellar navigation test using stellar parallax. On April 23, 2020, while 438 million miles from Earth, it imaged nearby stars Proxima Centauri and Wolf 359. From the spacecraft’s distant viewpoint, the stars appeared slightly shifted compared to Earth-based obs...

Breakthrough Laser Tech Enhances LiDAR Accuracy and Gas Detection
Researchers from NTNU and EPFL have developed a compact, low-cost laser on a photonic chip using thin-film lithium niobate. This new laser enables ultrafast, mode-hop-free tuning and delivers stable performance with a single control knob. Demonstrated in LiDAR systems, it achieved 4 cm range precision for self-driving cars and also detected trace h...
