Editing Maestro (software) (section)

== Design ==
The program renders the rover in a 3D environment. The program features the Jet Propulsion Laboratory testing facility, Spirit's landing site, or the Opportunity's landing site to explore. Data from the Spirit and Opportunity's landing site must be downloaded externally from the Maestro website and imported into the program.

The program is written using the [[Eclipse (software)|Java Eclipse Platform]].<ref name="auto"/> Java Eclipse provides scientists with a way to obtain results without being bound to the console when coding and the ability to share information easily. This platform allows Maestro to be available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://eclipse.org/community/casestudies/NASAfinal.pdf|title = NASA Uses Eclipse for Interplanetary Operations|date = |access-date = |website =Eclipse.org |publisher = |last = |first = }}</ref>

The program is simple enough to be navigated based on intuition and allow users to follow the rovers as they progress through their missions.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Software Details|url = https://software.nasa.gov/software/NPO-45871-1|website = software.nasa.gov|access-date = 2016-02-02}}</ref> The user interface is similar to a web browser and reduces all tasks to basic mouse movements and clicks.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Maestro Science Activity Planner for Mars|url = https://software.nasa.gov/featuredsoftware/maestro|website = software.nasa.gov|access-date = 2016-02-11}}</ref>
