Amazon Web Services is helping NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory reach an inaugural and innovative milestone in deep space exploration Sponsored by awscloud
, after its 7-month, 300-million-mile journey from Earth. This is the first planetary NASA mission, with mission-critical communication and transfer of telemetry data in the cloud. During Perseverance’s mission on Mars, the science and engineering data will be processed and hosted in AWS, enabling the Mars 2020 mission to benefit from the scalability, agility, and reliability of the cloud.
By using AWS, NASA JPL is able to process data from Mars, on Earth, faster than ever before. The increased processing speed will help NASA JPL make faster decisions on the health and safety of the rover. This information is critical for scientists and engineers to plan the rover’s next day activities. The rover requires visibility to drive, so it is important for the team to be able to send the next batch of instructions back to the rover within a specific timeframe.
“AWS is proud to support NASA JPL’s Perseverance mission,” said Max Peterson, Vice President, Worldwide Public Sector at AWS. “From the outset, AWS cloud services have enabled NASA JPL in its mission to capture and share mission-critical images, and help to answer key questions about the potential for life on Mars.”To help send data back to Earth, the Mars Rover is equipped with sensors, cameras, and microphones.
