Comparison of embedded computer systems on board the Mars rovers
open-in-new
<p> The <a href="/facts/Embedded_system/a4muX1wU">embedded</a> <a href="/facts/Computer_system/SQe1aK05">computer systems</a> onboard <a href="/facts/Mars_rover/6ueforXf">Mars rovers</a> are designed to <a href="/facts/Radiation_hardening/nB4Wbctl">withstand high radiation levels</a> and large temperature changes in space. For this reason their computational resources are limited compared to systems commonly used on Earth. </p>
