Abstract The carbon dioxide (CO2)/argon (Ar) ratio is a useful tracer of atmospheric circulation on Mars, but it remains observationally poorly constrained in the middle atmosphere, where large‐scale circulation occurs. In this study, we infer the CO2/Ar ratio at the homopause, which marks the upper boundary of the well‐mixed Martian middle atmosphere,

Meter‐Scale Roughness of the Lunar Surface
Abstract Small‐scale surface roughness is a key indicator of local geological processes, yet it has not previously been mapped globally on the Moon. We present global meter‐scale surface roughness maps generated from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter pulses, which record information about surface undulations within the instrument's ∼5 m individual ...

Odometry for a Planetary Exploration Rover
IARES is a highly flexible planetary exploration demonstration rover developed by CNES (the French National Center for Space Studies) mainly for autonomous navigation and locomotion studies. It has 19 degrees of freedom, including six active, steerable wheels. The rover uses a software for autonomous navigation, including stereo camera perception, path
