Lobate and flow-like features on asteroid Vesta [PDF]

, 2014
: We studied high-resolution images of asteroid Vesta's surface (~70 and 20–25 m/pixel) obtained during the High- and Low-Altitude Mapping Orbits (HAMO, LAMO) of NASA's Dawn mission to assess the formation mechanisms responsible for a variety of lobate ...

Wood wasp inspired space and earth drill [PDF]

, 2010
In this chapter, we explain why the low gravity encountered on Mars or on the Moon and the low mass of the probes, landers and rovers that carry drilling devices limit classical drilling techniques.

Calibrating mars orbiter laser altimeter pulse widths at mars science laboratory candidate landing sites

, 2014
Accurate estimates of surface roughness allow quantitative comparisons between planetary terrains. These comparisons enable us to improve our understanding of commonly occurring surface processes, and develop a more complete analysis of candidate landing
