ICuriosity rover, ehlola iMars, iyeke ukusebenza okwesikhashana ngenxa yokwehluleka kwezobuchwepheshe, ngokusho kwewebhusayithi ye-US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Inkinga ihlobene ne-spatial disorientation. I-rover ihlale igcina imininingwane yakamuva mayelana nokuma kwayo, ukuma kwamalunga ayo, ukuma kwengalo yayo eyirobhothi, nendlela izinsimbi zayo ezikuyo.
Lonke lolu lwazi lusiza irobhothi ukuthi lihambe ngokuphepha ku-Red Planet futhi linqume ukuthi likuphi ngesikhathi esithile.
Kodwa-ke, kubikwa ukuthi iCuriosity isanda kuthola ukungasebenzi kahle, okudale ukuthi irobhothi "lahleke" endaweni ezungezile. Ngemva kwalokhu, i-rover yayeka umsebenzi wayo wesayensi futhi okwamanje ayimile.
Ochwepheshe be-NASA sebevele bathatha izinyathelo ezidingekayo zokubuyisela ukuma kwerobhothi. Imbangela yangempela yenkinga ibingakatholakali.
Ilukuluku laqaliswa ku-Red Planet ngoNovemba 26, 2011, futhi lahlala kancane ngo-August 6, 2012. Leli robhothi irobhothi elikhulu nelisinda kunazo zonke ezake zakhiwa. Kuze kube manje, i-rover isihambe cishe amakhilomitha angama-22 ebusweni be-Mars.
