Environmental Monitoring Station for Mars Science Laboratory
The Viking Landers measured pressure, wind speed and direction, and air temperature with a small boom [1]. Mars Pathfinder had the Atmospheric Structure Instrument on its lander and recorded pressure, air temperature and wind direction [2]. MSL has environment sensors within its payload as well: it is the REMS (Rover Environmental Monitoring Station) instrument, which is in charge of recording ...
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 کاملThe Rover Environmental Monitoring Station Ground Temperature Sensor: A Pyrometer for Measuring Ground Temperature on Mars
We describe the parameters that drive the design and modeling of the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) Ground Temperature Sensor (GTS), an instrument aboard NASA's Mars Science Laboratory, and report preliminary test results. REMS GTS is a lightweight, low-power, and low cost pyrometer for measuring the Martian surface kinematic temperature. The sensor's main feature is its innovati...
متن کاملGale 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...
