Guide Kit
NASA's Perseverance landed safely on Mars. It carried onboard a drone helicopter, Ingenuity. Ingenuity is the first vehicle to ever fly in another world. Given that it is 11 Light Minutes from Earth, Ingenuity needs to navigate autonomously to collect samples and perform other activities.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has open-sourced its F' framework (pronounced F prime). Additionally, there are over 58 opensource components, from Linux to simple utilities used in Ingenuity. You can try them in your projects.
