Gale crater: the Mars Science Laboratory/ Curiosity Rover Landing Site
Gale crater formed from an impact on Mars *3.6 billion years ago. It hosts a central mound nearly 100 km wide and *5 km high, consisting of layered rocks with a variety of textures and spectral properties. The oldest exposed layers contain variably hydrated sulphates and smectite clay minerals, implying an aqueous origin, whereas the younger layers higher on themound are covered by amantle of d...
متن کاملLatest Results from the Mars Science Laboratory Mission and Curiosity Rover
Introduction: NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has been exploring Gale Crater since arriving at Mars in August 2012 (L s =151°). In June 2014, Curiosity completed its first Mars year. After driving nearly nine kilometers over fifteen months, in September 2014 Curiosity reached the first outcrop of rocks that are mapped from orbit as part of the Murray formation, the ~200 m thick basal layer of Aeoli...
متن کاملSimulating Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover Traverses Using Artemis
Introduction: Curiosity has been traversing across the northern plains of Gale Crater since August 2012 and on 1/6/17 (Sol 1571) has traveled over ~15 km (based on wheel odometry). The rover is approaching a prominent hematite-bearing ridge, which it will ascend to make measurements, thereafter continuing south up the slopes of Mount Sharp. Curiosity has already encountered multiple mobility is...
متن کاملModeling and Validation of Mobility Characteristics of the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover
This paper describes recent work toward developing a terramechanics-based modeling and validation infrastructure for characterizing the Curiosity rovers mobility properties on the Mars surface. The resulting simulation tool, ARTEMIS (Adams-based Rover Terramechanics and Mobility Interaction Simulator), is composed of a MSC-Adams dynamic rover model, a library of terramechanics subroutines, and ...
