Space and the Extraterrestrial Environment

Space 2002 and Robotics 2002, 2002
As humankind proceeds with space exploration, colonization, and development of space activities in the 21st Century, the relationship between space and the extraterrestrial environment emerges as a crucial area. A number of questions in this regard need to be considered and addressed: do humans have a right to extract resources from space and planetary

Experimental methods for studying microbial survival in extraterrestrial environments

Journal of Microbiological Methods, 2010
Microorganisms can be used as model systems for studying biological responses to extraterrestrial conditions; however, the methods for studying their response are extremely challenging. Since the first high altitude microbiological experiment in 1935 a large number of facilities have been developed for short- and long-term microbial exposure ...

A survey on robot localization in extraterrestrial environments

SoutheastCon 2016, 2016
Localization plays a key role during autonomous operation of mobile robots in planetary exploration missions. It is a challenging task due to the uncertainty in the environment and limitations in communications. In this paper we discuss various technologies that can be considered for localization of robots in extraterrestrial environments and also ...
