The science activity planner for the Mars Exploration Rover mission: FIDO field test results
The science activity planning process for the 2003 Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission was exercised in a ten day terrestrial rover field test in August 2002. A version of the MER mission Science Activity Planner (SAP) tool was used for downlink data visualization and uplink plan generation.

Automated rover sequence report generation
A web-based rover mission operations report and its various elements are described. The system was used for documentation of the Field Integrated Development and Operations (FIDO) rover May 2000 field test and results from the field test are provided. Implementation of automated sequence report generation for the operations report is explained in detail.
