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 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 کاملAEGIS autonomous targeting for ChemCam on Mars Science Laboratory: Deployment and results of initial science team use
Limitations on interplanetary communications create operations latencies and slow progress in planetary surface missions, with particular challenges to narrow–field-of-view science instruments requiring precise targeting. The AEGIS (Autonomous Exploration for Gathering Increased Science) autonomous targeting system has been in routine use on NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover since May 2016, selecting...
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 کاملMagnetic Field and Plasma Observations at Mars: Initial Results of the Mars Global Surveyor Mission
The magnetometer and electron reflectometer investigation (MAG/ER) on the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft has obtained magnetic field and plasma observations throughout the near-Mars environment, from beyond the influence of Mars to just above the surface (at an altitude of approximately 100 kilometers). The solar wind interaction with Mars is in many ways similar to that at Venus and at an act...
