  • Updated the download status of the payload in the after capture and after synchronisation. This was necessary so that the mission uploader knows which missions can be downloaded.

  • Added an app setting SyncBrokenMissionsOnStartup (default installation: true) which looks for missions with missing or incorrectly sized associated files and automatically transfers them from the rover if available

  • Added feature for automatic copy from the Watcher Storage to an attached USB Drive:

    • Supports multiple USB drives and switching between them based on storage constraints

    • Supports retrying partial transfers

    • The USB feature is enabled its state is saved between sessions

    • If the cloud uploader is enabled the USB Drive copy can not be enabled

    • Supports unplugging and plugging in multiple USB Drives during capture

  • Users are now able to filter the data download search results when using Ground Station to download files from the Rover. Users now have the option to:

  1. Filter results by mission name that contains certain text:

Search for files with “Rover” in the mission name
  1. Filter results by mission capture date:

Search for files captured on 13/11/2025

When filtering by Capture Date, this is based on the date settings configured on the host machine at the time (and timezone) of capture. Users may need to add or subtract one day to include certain results, depending on time differences.

The date filter is configured as DD/MM/YYYY.

  1. Include continuous IMU files:

  • Resolved issue with continuous IMU files failing to synchronise
