چکیده
Modern NASA planetary exploration missions employ complex systems of hardware and sofkware managed by large teams of. engineers and scientists in order to study remote environme most complex and successful of these recent projects is the Mars Exploration Rover mission. The Computational Sciences Division at NASA Ames Research Center delivered a 3 0 visualization program, Yiz, to the MER mission that provides an immersive, interactive environment for science analysis of the remote planetary surface. In addition, Ames provided the Athena Science Team with high-quality terrain reconstructions generated with the Ames Stereopipeline. The on-site support team for these software systems responded to unanticipated opportunities to generate 3 0 terrain models during the primary MER mission. This paper describes Yiz, the Stereo-pipeline, and the experiences of the on-site team supporting the scientists at JPL during the primary MER mission.

Human-Robot Site Survey and Sampling for Space Exploration
NASA is planning to send humans and robots back to the Moon before 2020. In order for extended missions to be productive, high quality maps of lunar terrain and resources are required. Although orbital images can provide much information, many features (local topography, resources, etc) will have to be characterized directly on the surface. To address this need, we are developing a system to pe...
متن کاملAutonomous Robotic Inspection for Lunar Surface Operations
In this paper, we describe NASA Ames Research Center's K10 rover as used in the 2006 Coordinated Field Demonstration at Meteor Crater, Arizona. We briefly discuss the control software architecture and describe a high dynamic range imaging system and panoramic display system used for the remote inspection of an EVA crew vehicle.

متن کاملRobotic Site Survey at Haughton Crater
In Summer 2007, we field-tested a robotic survey system at Haughton Crater (Devon Island, Canada). Two NASA Ames K10 planetary rovers performed systematic surveys of several simulated lunar sites, including a roughly 700m x 700m region called Drill Hill. The rovers carried a 3D scanning lidar for topographic mapping and ground penetrating radar to map subsurface structure. In this paper, we des...
