Topographic and Geological Factors Affecting Martian Transverse Aeolian Ridges: A Multi‐Source Remote Sensing Analysis of Morphology and Local Sediment Provenance

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Transverse aeolian ridges (TARs) on Mars exhibit distinct characteristics relative to other aeolian features, yet their formation and evolutionary mechanisms remain unclear. A comprehensive investigation of TAR's distribution, morphology, composition, and environmental influences is critical for advancing our understanding of their development

Terrain Classification for Planetary Rovers Using Wireless In‐Wheel Sensor Modules and Machine Learning

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1884-1904, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Safe and reliable mobility over different kinds of ground is important for planetary rovers on space missions. Since terrain changes might affect the mobility of the rover, energy consumption, and safety, detecting the type of ground in real‐time is vital.

Were There Tides on Ancient Mars?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Tides are a key component in the Earth system as they help regulate climate and sustain life. Mars very likely had a surface ocean around 4–3 billion years ago. The NASA Curiosity Rover and the CNSA Zhurong Rover were sent to Gale Crater and the Vastitas Borealis Formation (VBF) on Mars to explore the surface and search for evidence of the ...

Tracing a Wet Past and Diverse Provenances in Gale Crater, Mars, With Lithium Content Using ChemCam on the Curiosity Rover

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The incompatible behavior of Lithium during magmatic differentiation and high mobility during aqueous alteration make it a valuable tracer of crustal processes on Mars. Its preferential incorporation into secondary phyllosilicates further links Li to clay‐forming environments, which are critical for evaluating past aqueous activity and ...

Modeling the Crustal Magnetic Field of Mars With Physics‐Informed Neural Networks

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Satellites orbiting Mars have measured crustal magnetic fields up to two orders of magnitude stronger than those on Earth. Although Mars currently lacks an active global magnetic field, this magnetization preserves a valuable record of the planet's early dynamo activity and crustal evolution.

Visual Prediction of Rover Slip: Learning Algorithms and Field Experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Perception of the surrounding environment is an essential tool for intelligent navigation in any autonomous vehicle. In the context of Mars exploration, there is a strong motivation to enhance the perception of the rovers beyond geometry-based obstacle ...

A Study Demonstrating That Using Gravitational Offset to Prepare Extraterrestrial Mobility Missions Is Misleading

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 42, Issue 7, Page 3772-3794, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Recently, there has been a surge of international interest in extraterrestrial exploration targeting the Moon, Mars, the moons of Mars, and various asteroids. This contribution discusses how current state‐of‐the‐art Earth‐based testing for designing rovers and landers for these missions currently leads to overly optimistic conclusions about ...

Rover vertical dynamics: modeling and experimental validation

open access: yes, 2022
reservedVertical vibrations of a rover have been analysed to understand what disturbances a camera that has to be mounted on it is subject to. Work was done to identify the rover dynamic properties and to build numerical models representative of reality,
