Sequence planning for the FIDO Mars rover prototype
A planetary rover operations system has been developed and verified in terrestrial rover field tests.
Challenges in 3D visualization for Mars Exploration Rover mission science planning
The Science Activity Planner (SAP), currently under development by our group at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will be the primary tool used for science data assessment and science activity planning during the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission.
FIDO Rover field trials as rehearsal for the NASA 2003 Mars Exploration Rovers mission
This paper describes recent field trials performed using the FIDO rover, an advanced NASA technology development platform and research prototype for the next planned rover mission to Mars.
Visible Scalable Terrain (ViSTa) format
Visible Scalable Terrain is a format for the production, interchange, and display of 3D terrain data that is specifically suited to stereo vision based robotic applications.
Relating downlink products to uplink commands in Mars Rover operations
We discuss how downlink data products in Mars rover missions need to be associated with their uplink commanded target locations and the uplink commands that produced them.
