Highlight Advances in Planetary Physics in the Solar System: In Situ Detection Over the Past 20 Years

Space: Science & Technology, 2023
Planetary science is the science of studying planets, moons, and planetary systems. The scale of the research objects ranges from small meteoroids to large gas giant planets, and the research purpose is to determine their composition, dynamics, formation,

The guiding role of national demand in the first level discipline construction of planetary science

地球与行星物理论评, 2021
Since the beginning of the 21st century, deep space exploration has become an important national strategy. Five lunar exploration missions and the first Mars exploration mission have been successful.

Path Planning for Planetary Exploration [PDF]

2008 Canadian Conference on Computer and Robot Vision, 2008
In this paper we present the work done at the Canadian Space Agency on the problem of planetary exploration. One of the main goals is the over-the-horizon navigation of a mobile robot on a Mars like environment. A key component is the ability to plan a path using maps of different resolutions and also to refine/replan when more data becomes available ...

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 ...

High-adaption locomotion with stable robot body for planetary exploration robot carrying potential instruments on unstructured terrain

, 2021
There is a strong demand for Planetary Exploration Mobile robots (PEMRs) that have the capability of the traversability, stability, efficiency and high load while tackling the specialized tasks on planet surface. In this paper, an electric parallel wheel-

Space farming: Horticulture systems on spacecraft and outlook to planetary space exploration.

Plant physiology and biochemistry : PPB, 2022
Successful human space exploration requires more products than can be taken as payload. There is a need, therefore, for in-space circular manufacturing.

Terrain Modelling for Planetary Exploration [PDF]

Fourth Canadian Conference on Computer and Robot Vision (CRV '07), 2007
The success of NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers has demonstrated the important benefits that mobility adds to planetary exploration. Very soon, mission requirements will impose that planetary exploration rovers drive autonomously in unknown terrain. This will require an evolution of the methods and technologies currently used.

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

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.
