Abstract

This propagation delay is more than an inconvenience, however: it has also nearly caused absolute disaster. In 2007, scientists at NASA realized that the rover was approaching the edge of a devastatingly steep cliff at the edge of Crater Victoria. A command was immediately dispatched to stop the rover. Fortunately, the rover came to a halt at the brink of the precipice. The disparity between real time and virtual visualization caused by propagation delay almost resulted in the rover's obliteration. Within a matter of minutes, the billion-dollar rover could have become Mars' first heap of totaled rover wreckage all of this simply because of a seemingly small delay between virtual reality and authentic reality.
