据《每日邮报》报道,为了能让好奇号在火星盖尔陨石坑崎岖不平的地形上顺利旅行,一个经过精心挑选的由工程师和程序师组成的科研组接受了多年的严格训练。只有来自世界各地的20位候选人获得了操控这辆最新火星车的“驾驶证书”。好奇号由钛、铝和硅组成,拥有6个小军鼓大小的轮子。然而,“驾驶”该车穿越崎岖不平的火星地形,并不像手握游戏手柄,按动“X”键那么简单。事实上,被选中操控这辆火星车的人需要写数千条指令该车更好的在这颗红色行星表面行驶的电脑代码。根据地球和火星的相对行星轨道,这些指令需要穿越5460万
A well-chosen team of engineers and programmers has been rigorously trained for many years, according to the Daily Mail, in order to make the curiosity a smooth trip on the bumpy terrain of Mars Gale crater. Only 20 candidates from all over the world have been given a “driving license” for handling the latest rover. Curiosity consists of titanium, aluminum and silicon, with six snare drum wheels. However, driving through the bumpy Martian terrain is not as simple as holding a gamepad and pressing the “X” key. In fact, the man selected to maneuver the rover needs to write thousands of computer codes to instruct the car to better navigate the surface of the red planet. According to the relative orbit of Earth and Mars, these instructions need to cross 54.6 million
