Mars Rover Powered by ‘Little Bits’ of CMU from the Pittsburgh Tribune Review
"When NASA’s newest rover, “Curiosity,” lands on Mars early Monday, it will carry a byte or two from the ‘Burgh. The rover, about the size of a Mini Cooper, will use navigation software developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Carnegie Mellon researchers also did traction studies on the vehicle’s wheels."
