Requirements for Portable Instrument Suites during Human Scientific Exploration of Mars [PDF]
Astrobiology, 2019 Human explorers on the surface of Mars will have access to a far wider array of scientific tools than previous crewed planetary exploration missions, but not every tool will be compatible with the restrictions of this exploration. Spectrometers on flyby,

Diagnosis by a Waiter and a Mars Explorer [PDF]
Proceedings of the IEEE, 2004 This paper shows how state-of-the-art state estimation techniques can be used to provide efficient solutions to the difficult problem of real-time diagnosis in mobile robots. The power of the adopted estimation techniques resides in our ability to combine particle filters with classical algorithms, such as Kalman filters.

Identifying and Interpreting Stratification in Sedimentary Rocks on Mars: Insight from Rover and Orbital Observations and Terrestrial Field Analogs [PDF]
, 2013 Sedimentary rocks on Mars provide insight into past aqueous and atmospheric processes, climate regimes, and potential habitability. The stratigraphic architecture of sedimentary rocks on Mars is similar to that of Earth, indicating that the processes ...

Erosion rate and previous extent of interior layered deposits on Mars revealed by obstructed landslides [PDF]
, 2014 We describe interior layered deposits on Mars that have obstructed landslides before undergoing retreat by as much as 2 km. These landslides differ from typical Martian examples in that their toe height increases by as much as 500 m in a distinctive ...

Space Photography and the Exploration of Mars [PDF]
Applied Optics, 1970 A general exposition of the scientific potentialities and analytic framework of space photography is presented using the photography of Mars from flybys and orbiters as the principal example. Space photography is treated here as a communication process in which planetary scene information is communicated to the eye-brain receiver of earth-based ...
