"Seven minutes of terror" redirect
edit"Seven minutes of terror" currently redirects to a section of this article. However, it is now ambiguous, since the term has been used again for the InSight mission. It should probably be a disambiguation page or perhaps not exist at all. Suggestions? --SoledadKabocha (talk) 06:06, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
- I notice that the InSight article doesn't yet mention the term; we shouldn't take any action until it does. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 02:17, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
- Nor do the Mars atmospheric entry or Mars landing articles specifically mention justification for a seven-minute interval.
- I was not seriously recommending either a disambiguation or an RFD. A hatnote would be more appropriate, after relevant content is added to one of said other articles. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 02:42, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
AutoNav not mentioned
editNeither the Computer section or the Mobility systems section mention the AutoNav software on-board Curiosity. Sadly it has been less used since the wheel damage required avoidance of sharp rocks.[1] Mars 2020/Perseverance has upgraded AutoNav software. - Rod57 (talk) 12:23, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
