Two Years of Autonomous Targeting Onboard the Mer Opportunity Rover
The Autonomous Exploration for Gathering Increased Science (AEGIS) system provides automated, sciencedrive data collection for planetary rovers. AEGIS is currently being used onboard the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission’s Opportunity rover to provide autonomous targeting of the MER Panoramic camera. Prior to AEGIS, targets were typically manually identified in images transmitted to Earth an...
متن کاملHypotheses for the origin of fine-grained sedimentary rocks at Santa Maria crater, Meridiani Planum
En route to Endeavour crater, the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity embarked on a short but significant campaign at Santa Maria crater during sols 2450–2551. Santa Maria crater is a relatively young impact crater, approximately 100 m in diameter and 11–17 m deep. Opportunity performed detailed analyses on several ejecta blocks and completed an extensive imaging campaign around the crater. Many...
متن کاملPhyllosilicates and sulfates at Endeavour Crater, Meridiani Planum, Mars
[1] Phyllosilicates have been identified on the Martian surface from orbit, and are hypothesized to have formed under wet, non-acidic conditions early in the planet’s history. Exposures of these minerals have not yet been examined by a landed mission. Using Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter data, we report the detection of phyllosilicatebearing outcrops that may be accessible by the Mars Exploration ...

متن کاملConstraints on ripple migration at Meridiani Planum from Opportunity and HiRISE observations of fresh craters
[1] Observations of fresh impact craters by the Opportunity rover and in high‐resolution orbital images constrain the latest phase of granule ripple migration at Meridiani Planum to have occurred between ∼50 ka and ∼200 ka. Opportunity explored the fresh Resolution crater cluster and Concepción crater that are superposed on and thus younger than the ripples. These fresh craters have small dark ...
