Robust Thruster Fault Diagnosis : Application to the rendezvous phase of the Mars Sample Return mission
This paper addresses robust fault diagnosis of the chaser’s thrusters used for the rendezvous phase of the Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission. The MSR mission is a future exploration mission undertaken jointly by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA). The goal is to return tangible samples from Mars atmosphere and ground to Earth for analysis...
متن کاملSample Return from “water” Seeps on Mars
Motivation: Some of the most intriguing science discoveries on Mars came from sites that are currently inaccessible for in-situ analysis and sample return. The recent discovery of recurring slope lineae (RSL), such as those observed in Newton crater, are on steep slopes (25° – 40°) that are hundreds of meters down from the crater rim. In-situ analysis and sample capture of out-flow deposits tha...
متن کاملAutonomous Rover Technology for Mars Sample Return
Planetary rovers enable good sample selection and retrieval for Mars sample return missions. After landing, the rovers search for the best possible scientific samples in the region around a lander, and they return these selected samples to an ascent vehicle that launches the samples into Mars orbit. To streamline the search for, the acquisition, and the retrieval of samples, rover autonomy is a...
متن کاملSample and Return
A sample return mission, as the name suggests, involves sampling some interesting feature of an environment and returning this to some home base. Research in this area is overwhelmingly geared towards space exploration. This is due to the fact that planetary sampling can provide key information for understanding the solar system evolution and addressing the questions such as habitability and pr...
