A Program for Planetary Exploration

Science, 1983
On the basis of a two-year study, the NASA Solar System Exploration Committee recommends a core program of planetary missions through the year 2000. By incorporating a number of cost-saving measures, an exciting program of planetary exploration can be achieved within a highly constrained NASA budget.

Mobile Robots for Planetary Exploration

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1995
Abstract Mobile robots are key components in planetary exploration, to extend the area in reach for measurements, and to access points of scientific interest. After a review of particular design constraints of the space environment, a survey of planetary rover activities since the sixties is given. In particular, requirements and technical approaches

Planetary exploration by robotic aerovehicles

Autonomous Robots, 1995
Planetary aerobots are a new type of telerobotic science platform that can fly and navigate in a dynamic 3-dimensional atmospheric environment, thus enabling the global in situ exploration of planetary atmospheres and surfaces. Aerobots are enabled by a new concept in planetary balloon altitude control, developed at JPL, which employs reversible-fluid ...

Terrain mapping for a roving planetary explorer

Proceedings, 1989 International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2003
The main task of perception for autonomous vehicles is to build a representation of the observed environment in order to carry out a mission. In particular, terrain modeling, that is modeling the geometry of the environment observed by the vehicle's semors, is crucial for autonomous underwater exploration.

Robotic vehicles for planetary exploration

Applied Intelligence, 1992
A program to develop planetary rover technology is underway at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) under sponsorship of NASA. Developmental systems with the necessary sensing, computing, power, and mobility resources to demonstrate realistic forms of control for various missions have been developed, and initial testing has been completed. These testbed

Aerobots in planetary exploration

2000 IEEE Aerospace Conference. Proceedings (Cat. No.00TH8484), 2002
Robotic balloons (aerobots) may significantly change the future of in situ planetary exploration. On Mars, the aerobots can fill the gap in resolution/coverage between the orbiters and rovers. Powered aerobots (airships) can make controlled global flights for high-resolution radar, visible, infrared, thermal, magnetic, and neutron mapping; they can be ...

The planetary exploration program

IEEE Communications Society Magazine, 1977
The U. S. program for space exploration of the planets began with the Mariner 2 flyby of Venus in 1962. Since then a series of Mariners have gone to Mercury and Mars, in addition to Venus. Pioneer-class spacecraft have flown through the asteroid belt and have passed by Jupiter.
