Elsewhere, researchers at different institutions even have been working for years on giving drones the flexibility to land and grasp onto something. As this 2019 Smithsonian article explains, with the ability to land in varied places helps drones to conserve energy that they might expend by having to remain airborne. That is essential, because the flight time of robotic aircrafts is proscribed by their battery energy.

Astronauts can enter and exit the module from one shirt-sleeve environment to a different through the use of an airlock docking hatch. They may exit and enter the rover directly into their space fits via the suitport without having to depressurize the habitat module. That is a feat that Apollo astronauts would envy since they needed to depressurize and repressurize the complete lunar module after they exited and re-entered. And in contrast to Apollo, astronauts would not must carry their dusty house suits inside, thereby protecting the habitat’s inside cleaner. In assessments of the suitport, astronauts can don space fits in 10 minutes or less.

“For example, when a car is parked in an space that is not on a map, it will need to know which method its nose is pointing. Otherwise it can not fi nd its approach to the nearest highway,” says Tommi Vilenius, Senior Supervisor, Business Improvement, from Murata Electronics. Using North Finder, autonomous vehicles can even drive quick distances and not using a digital camera.
