Icy Satellites Impactor Probes for the Jovian Icy Moons Orbiter
We present a preliminary design and mission description for Icy Satellites Impactor Probes (IPS). This design addresses two of the scientific themes of this Icy Galilean Satellites Forum: Surface Chemistry and Geophysics, and Interior Structures. Impactor probes may also make significant contributions in the areas of surface geology and mineralogy.
A Prototype Manipulation System for Mars Rover Science Operations
This paper provides an overview of a new manipulation system developed for sampling and instrument placement from small autonomous mobile robots for Mars exploration. Selected out of the design space, two manipulators have been constructed and integrated into the Rocky 7 Mars rover prototype. This paper describes objectives and constraints for these manipulators, and presents the finished system and some results from its operation.
The Rocky 7 Rover: A Mars Sciencecraft Prototype
This paper describes the design and implementation of a small rover for future Mars missions requiring long traverses and rover-based science experiments at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Rocky 7: A Next Generation Mars Rover Prototype
This paper provides a system overview of a new Mars rover prototype, Rocky 7.
