L3Harris to Provide Critical Communications Link in NASA’s Mars Rover Exploration Mission
L3Harris Technologies’ avionics and communications technology will provide a critical link that enables NASA to control the Perseverance Rover when it lands on Mars and throughout its 10-year life expectancy.
L3Harris communications technology will transmit data to and from Perseverance through relay orbiters that then provide a communications link with NASA controllers on Earth from up to 250 million miles away. The controllers will use both critical links to send instructions and receive data, imagery and other feedback from Perseverance.

This is the second of a three-part series on the Navy’s struggles to develop unmanned ships and systems. WASHINGTON The attack from the late Sen. John McCain was predictable but that did little to lessen the pain. From the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman’s seat in the Dirksen Senate Office Building in December 2016, McCain unleashed a polemic against what he saw as 12 years of programmatic futility displayed in the U.S. Navy’s efforts to field the littoral combat ship.
