Autonomous Rover Technology for Mars Sample Return
Planetary rovers enable good sample selection and retrieval for Mars sample return missions. After landing, the rovers search for the best possible scientific samples in the region around a lander, and they return these selected samples to an ascent vehicle that launches the samples into Mars orbit. To streamline the search for, the acquisition, and the retrieval of samples, rover autonomy is a...
متن کاملAutonomous Navigation to Provide Long-distance Surface Traverses for Mars Rover Sample Return Mission
Knowledge acquisition and representation techniques are developed to allow an autonomous vehicle to negotiate a path over partially unknown terrain, such as the long-distance traverses for the Mars Rover Saayle Return Mission. Terrain navigation is accomplished by the following sequence of steps: The skylines from the visibility map and from the space are stochastically matched to update the ve...
متن کاملScientific Benefit of a Hypervelocity Mars Atmospheric Sample Capture and Earth Return with the Scim Mission
Introduction: Atmospheric and volatile measurements are crucial to understanding both Mars' climate history and its potential for harboring life. Our present knowledge of the Mars atmosphere comes primarily from the Viking mass spectrometers, gases trapped in the martian meteorites, and from telescopic observations. The Viking landers measured the chemical composition of all major atmospheric s...
متن کاملRobust Thruster Fault Diagnosis : Application to the rendezvous phase of the Mars Sample Return mission
This paper addresses robust fault diagnosis of the chaser’s thrusters used for the rendezvous phase of the Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission. The MSR mission is a future exploration mission undertaken jointly by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA). The goal is to return tangible samples from Mars atmosphere and ground to Earth for analysis...
