The Spectropolarimeter for Planetary Exploration: SPEX [PDF]

International Conference on Space Optics — ICSO 2008, 2017
SPEX (Spectropolarimeter for Planetary EXploration) is an innovative, compact remotesensing instrument for measuring and characterizing aerosols in the atmosphere. The shoebox size instrument is capable of accurate full linear spectropolarimetry without moving parts or liquid crystals. High precision polarimetry is performed through encoding the degree

Sonar equations for planetary exploration [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016
The set of formulations commonly known as “the sonar equations” have for many decades been used to quantify the performance of sonar systems in terms of their ability to detect and localize objects submerged in seawater. The efficacy of the sonar equations, with individual terms evaluated in decibels, is well established in Earth's oceans.

Converting along-track photons into a point-region quadtree to assist with ICESat-2-based canopy cover and ground photon detection

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2022
The advanced laser altimetry satellite—the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2)11 ICESat-2: Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2.—is a potentially feasible, rapid and effective tool for monitoring carbon cycle and carbon storage to

Mobile manipulation for planetary exploration [PDF]

2018 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2018
Robotic systems map unknown terrain and collect scientific relevant data of foreign planets. Currently, pilots from Earth steer these rovers on Moon and Mars surfaces via teleoperation. However, remote control suffers from a high delay of the long distance communication which leads to a reduction of the time the rover can spent gathering scientific ...

AUTO-ADAPTIVE MULTI-LEVEL SEAFLOOR RECOGNITION AND LAND SEA CLASSIFICATION (AMSRLC) IN REEF-ISLAND ZONES USING ICESAT-2 LASER ALTIMETRY [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2022
The world’s first photon-counting laser altimetry satellite, the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2), which was launched in 2018, has proven to have a certain bathymetric capability, which provides a new means for the surveying of island

LAMAlice: a nanorover for planetary exploration [PDF]

MHS'99. Proceedings of 1999 International Symposium on Micromechatronics and Human Science (Cat. No.99TH8478), 2003
Over the last years considerable efforts in miniaturisation have been made in autonomous robotics, especially in the domain of space missions in order to reduce costs and increase chances of success if using several robots. This has led us to imagine and realise a prototype of a nanorover which shows an example of what planetary exploration could look ...

Using Laser Altimetry to Finely Map the Permanently Shadowed Regions of the Lunar South Pole Using an Iterative Self-Constrained Adjustment Strategy

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022
Laser altimeters are capable of achieving fine mapping of the permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) of the Moon, which can provide fundamental topographic data for planetary missions.
