NASA engineers have successfully reprogrammed the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC, originally part of the Ingenuity helicopter's avionics, to enhance the Perseverance rover's autonomous navigation. This remote reconfiguration from 140 million miles away allows the rover to achieve navigation accuracy within 10 inches.
