Planetary Exploration Horizon 2061: A long-term perspective for planetary exploration

open access: yes, 2022
With the discovery of thousands of extrasolar planetary systems it becomes more and more evident that a large variety of planetary system architectures, including very different types of planets, have been realized in nature. Our solar system is just one

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

Telepresence for planetary exploration

SPIE Proceedings, 1991
Telepresence from a manned central base to unmanned rovers is discussed as a possible solution to the problem of human presence in planetary field geology. Some issues that are essential to planetary surface field work are examined with reference to results of the Amboy field study.

Planetary exploration by spacecraft

Contemporary Physics, 1980
Abstract The present article contains an account of the type and capabilities of deep-space probes used between 1962 and 1979 for an exploration of our sister planets in the solar system from Mercury to Saturn—fly-bys, orbiters and hard-landers—it gives especial attention to those which succeeded in effecting soft landings and it reports their findings
