Hello fellow Wikipedians,
 
I have just added archive links to {{plural:1|one external link|1 external links}} on [[Mars Science Laboratory]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=686462328 my edit]. If necessary, add {{tlx|cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{tlx|nobots|deny{{=}}InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

== retropropulsion ==
 
All of the links to everything about "supersonic retro-propulsion" seem like confusing circular facades. We need an actual explanation of what "retropropulsion" is. A maze of redirects is not sufficient.-[[Special:Contributions/71.174.176.65|71.174.176.65]] ([[User talk:71.174.176.65|talk]]) 17:08, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
:I added an intralink to [[retrorocket]]s for you to read. Unlike the Moon, Mars has an atmosphere that makes use of retrorockets a complex event. As to why it is destabilizing: imagine descending at supersonic speed through the rocket exhaust plumes. I think the Red Dragon lander team will place their retrorockets on the sides of the lander, so the plumes will be in minimum contact with the heat shield. Also the Red Dragon will have an airfoil with a lot of drag. Cheers, [[User:BatteryIncluded|BatteryIncluded]] ([[User talk:BatteryIncluded|talk]]) 17:29, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
 
Thanks for that link to retrorockets! It should probably be added to a number of articles... Even tho I have a good tech background, when I first encountered the phrase "supersonic retro-propulsion" in the news today I was imagining this was some exotic futuristic "supersonic" propulsion engine technology. Now I am instead supposing we are just discussing generic retrorockets operating in a supersonic external atmosphere context? Any article that uses any form of these phrases needs to add a few words of very basic orientation-explanation, and link to an article that actually explicitly further explains the words and concepts etc.-[[Special:Contributions/71.174.176.65|71.174.176.65]] ([[User talk:71.174.176.65|talk]]) 18:29, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

"{{-r|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 [[WP:RFD|not exist at all]]. Suggestions? --[[User:SoledadKabocha|SoledadKabocha]] ([[User talk:SoledadKabocha|talk]]) 06:06, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
:I notice that the ''InSight'' article doesn't yet mention the term; we shouldn't take any action until it does. --[[User:SoledadKabocha|SoledadKabocha]] ([[User talk: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. --[[User:SoledadKabocha|SoledadKabocha]] ([[User talk:SoledadKabocha|talk]]) 02:42, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 
== AutoNav not mentioned ==
{{sourcecheck|checked=false|needhelp=}}
 
Neither 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.[https://www.marsdaily.com/reports/Perseverance_Mars_rover_to_use_AutoNav_in_new_self_driving_mode_999.html ] Mars 2020/Perseverance has upgraded AutoNav software. - [[User:Rod57|Rod57]] ([[User talk:Rod57|talk]]) 12:23, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
