Design of the Scarab Rover for Mobility & Drilling in the Lunar Cold Traps
Scarab is a demonstration of a lunar rover design to explore polar cold traps for water ice as a potential resource. The envisioned mission scenario lands the rover on the floor of a permanently shadowed crater. The radioisotope powered rover then traverses kilometers in darkness, stopping to drill into the near subsurface and take data. The vehicle design employs a passive kinematic suspension...
متن کاملSurvivability Issues in Wireless Mobile Networks
Understanding the functionality of a communications system or network in the wake of failures is provided by survivability analysis. A great deal of attention has been focused on survivability of high speed networks and of ad hoc networks supporting battleeeld communications. Very little attention has been placed on the unique survivability issues pertaining to mobile systems supporting cellula...
متن کاملField Experiments in Mobility and Navigation with a Lunar Rover Prototype
Scarab is a prototype rover for lunar missions to survey resources, particularly water ice, in polar craters. It is designed as a prospector that would use a deep coring drill and apply soil analysis instruments. Its chassis can transform to stabilize its drill in contact with the ground and can also adjust posture to ascend and descent steep slopes. Scarab has undergone field testing at lunar ...
متن کاملA Multi Objective Graph Based Model for Analyzing Survivability of Vulnerable Networks
In the various fields of disaster management, choosing the best location for the Emergency Support & Supply Service Centers (ESSSCs) and the survivability of the network that provides the links between ESSSCs and their environment has a great role to be paid enough attention. This paper introduces a graph based model to measure the survivability of the linking's network. By values computed for ...
متن کاملAccuracy Improvement of Tropospheric Delay Interpolation in RTK Networks
The effect of troposphere on the signals emitted from global navigation satellite system (GNSS) satellites, appears as an extra delay in the measurement of the signal traveling from the satellite to receiver. This delay depends on the temperature, pressure, humidity as well as the transmitter and receiver antennas location. In GNSS positioning, tropospheric delay effects on accuracy of differen...
