Another enhancement of the VxWorks RTOS gives the Earth-based handlers a higher degree of interaction with the spacecraft so that they can control and debug the entire software system during the mission. Because the market is demanding ever-increasing functionality and the VxWorks RTOS delivers that level of performance, a significant portion of our revenues comes from important aerospace and defense electronics projects. The search for water, including its availability for some form of Martian life and its role in the Martian weather and climate, is key to future Mars exploration. The Lander will search for surface and near-surface ice evidence of cyclic climate change as well as characterize physical processes key to the seasonal cycles of water, carbon dioxide, and dust on Mars.
