This first drive was a test to ensure that the rover could move as planned, in preparation for its planned daily drives of around 656 feet (200 meters) or more. The rover also performed a checkout of its robotic arm which holds several of the rover’s instruments, including several cameras and the SHERLOC instrument. In addition to the news about the rover, the team also announced they have named the site where the rover landed after renowned science fiction author Octavia E. Butler. With the first tests complete, now the team will move onto more detailed testing and calibration of the rover’s science instruments.

The crew of the International Space Station (ISS) completed another spacewalk yesterday, Friday, March 5, successfully installing modifications for the station’s new solar arrays. The purpose of the spacewalk was to prepare the space station for a set of new solar arrays, scheduled for installation later this year. In order to replace the arrays, the ISS crew needs to install modification kits to the outside of the station which the new arrays can attach to.“The new solar arrays, a larger version of the Roll-Out Solar Array (ROSA) technology, will be positioned in front of six of the current arrays, ultimately increasing the station’s total available power from 160 kilowatts to up to 215 kilowatts and ensuring sufficient power supply for NASA’s exploration technology demonstrations for Artemis and beyond.
