How JPL keeps the 13-year-old Curiosity rover doing science

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has been maintaining the 13-year-old Curiosity rover on Mars, allowing it to continue conducting scientific research. The rover's longevity is a testament to JPL's innovative approach to maintenance and repair. To keep the rover operational, JPL uses a combination of autonomous systems and remote human oversight. Despite the challenges of maintaining a rover on another planet, JPL's efforts have enabled Curiosity to continue exploring Mars and providing valuable scientific data. The rover's continued operation is a significant achievement in space exploration.
