NASA Releases Mars Data for Maestro

The Maestro Team writes "The Jet Propulsion Laboratory has released the first Mars data update for Maestro, containing images just received from the Spirit Mars rover. Maestro is the public version of the actual tool used by the mission scientists to operate the rover. You can download Maestro and the latest Mars images from the official Maestro site, and join the developers and other users in #maestro on irc.freenode.net."

I spent all that time building my own rover, hoping, nay - praying, for this to happen. It's nice to finally be able to do something with it other than cover up the crab grass on my lawn.

This is Crippleware!

Maestro is the public version of the actual tool used by the mission scientists to operate the rover.

So I'm guessing this public version of the tool used to operate the rover lacks some capabilities, like the ability to operate the rover?

Heh. I assure you that steps were taken to ensure that Maestro will pose no risk whatsoever to the mission. We were careful about that. :)

No no, it's fully complete! But you have register the software before they'll send you a rover.

Damn thing doesn't work with my joystick

Maybe if we all pull "left" at the same time...

Not crippleware, but it does require one hell of an expensive dongle to run...
