As the rover drives, more images are generated of the surface of Mars, and, crucially, more images of Martian sand; these images become more data that can be used to further train the terrain classifier and perfect its capacity to predict the presence of sand; as the terrain classifier is further trained and perfected, the rover is able to navigate further, with reduced risk to its overall safety; as the rover navigates further, it produces more images of Martian sand, which become more data to train SPOC, and thus, cyclically, ensure the increased command and control over space.	cache/catalyst-41853.pdf	txt/catalyst-41853.txt
