Lunar roving vehicle magnetic tests

The qualification model of the lunar roving vehicle (LRV) was tested in the Spacecraft Magnetic Test Facility (SMTF) at the GSFC Magnetic Test Site. Magnetic field measurements were made, both with the vehicle in its as received state and also subsequent to final deperm treatment. These measurements, together with information supplied to GSFC regarding the magnetic moment of the astronaut's extravehicular mobility units (EMU's) were used to calculate 0.5 nanotesla (gamma) contours around the LRV. The results are tabulated. Magnetic field measurements were also made with various items of LRV equipment operational. No significant changes were noted, except during operation of the vehicle wheels.

Electronic and software subsystems for an autonomous roving vehicle

The complete electronics packaging which controls the Mars roving vehicle is described in order to provide a broad overview of the systems that are part of that package. Some software debugging tools are also discussed. Particular emphasis is given to those systems that are controlled by the microprocessor. These include the laser mast, the telemetry system, the command link prime interface board, and the prime software.
