Mars Science Laboratory relative humidity observations: Initial results
The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) made a successful landing at Gale crater early August 2012. MSL has an environmental instrument package called the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) as a part of its scientific payload. REMS comprises instrumentation for the observation of atmospheric pressure, temperature of the air, ground temperature, wind speed and direction, relative humidity (...
متن کاملMesoscale Atmosphere Model Implementation into Mars Science Laboratory Performance Simulations
Introduction: Previous recent entries at Mars, like Pathfinder, Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) and Phoenix, were ballistic and therefore had smaller downrange distances between entry and touchdown compared to the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) guided entry. See Figure 1. Consequently “handcrafted” vertical profiles of the atmosphere at the landing site, tailored for the expected conditions on the...
متن کاملMars Science Laboratory Drill
The Drill for the Mars Science Laboratory mission is a rotary-percussive sample acquisition device with an emphasis on toughness and robustness to handle the harsh environment on Mars. The unique challenges associated with autonomous drilling from a mobile robot are addressed. A highly compressed development schedule dictated a modular design architecture that satisfies the functional and load ...
متن کاملMars Science Laboratory Robotic Arm
The Mars Science Laboratory Robotic Arm (MSL RA) is a critical, single–fault-tolerant mechanism in the MSL science mission that must deliver 5 of the rover’s 12 science instruments to the Martian surface. This paper will describe the design, build, and test methodology which evolved as the science payload matured over the course of the 4-year project. Lessons learned based on the EM and Flight ...
متن کاملLava and Ice Interaction on Mars: Application of Terrestrial Observations and Laboratory Simulations;
Observations of terrestrial examples of lava and ice interaction have been combined with laboratory simulations to provide a framework for investigating lava and ice interaction on Mars. Identification of largeand small-scale characteristic features will indicate whether large quantities of meltwater were trapped or whether lava flow confinement occurred. These features should also enable the d...
