With NASA planning robotic and crewed missions to new locations on the Moon and Mars, avoiding landing on the steep slope of a crater or in a boulder field is critical to helping ensure a safe touch down for surface exploration of other worlds. In order to improve landing safety, NASA is developing and testing a suite of precise landing and hazard-avoidance technologies.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-09-nasa-technology-enables-precision.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">NASA technology enables precision landing without a pilot<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of the most interesting places to study in our solar system are found in the most inhospitable environments\u2014but landing on any planetary body is already a risky proposition.
