Soil and Rock Physical Properties at the Mars Exploration Rover Landing Sites: Early Returns
The purpose of this paper is to report the 'early returns' on the physical properties of soil units and rocks at the MER landing sites. Because we are still very early in the mission at Meridiani Planum, results from the Gusev Crater Landing Site are emphasized here.
Performance and 6 DOF ground truth evaluation of the GESTALT Mars Rover surface navigation system: first results

The Athena SDM rover: A testbed for Mars rover mobility
In this paper we describe the software aspects of the overall Athena SDM rover mobility system in three parts: the control electronics, the software architecture and development environment, and surface navigation software. The Athena SDM architecture has been shown to be capable of meeting mission navigation requirements by being able to safely drive 100 meters using allowable resources within three hours.
