  1. 16. Scheduling Strategies for Relay of Mars Rover Data via Mars Orbiter and Earth Stations

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Jendrik Jördening; [2016]
    Keywords : Mars Relay Network; ExoMars; Pass Scheduling; ExoMars 2020; ExoMars; RSP;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the relay communication between landed assets on the surface of Mars via a relay orbiter to Earth is studied for its latencies and the times which can be provided for the landed asset to work and for the ground to plan depending on the operational margins, the available ground station network and the available relay orbiters. In this context, an automated solver is developed to evaluate a locally optimal strategy of relay pass assignment respecting the different constraints and is proven to provide a solution close to the globally optimal one.

  3. 17. Field-Site Prototype for HABIT (FSP-HABIT) : Characterizing Martian Salts Prior to the ExoMars 2020 Mission

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Johannes Güttler; [2016]
    Keywords : Mars; Brine; Perchlorate; Chloride; HABIT; ExoMars; ESA; IKI; Prototype; Conductivity; BOTTLE ENVPACK; Salt;

    Abstract : One of the major remaining question about Mars is its habitability - if the requirements necessary to allow for life are presently fulfilled. One of the most relevant ingredients for life, as we know it, is water. Indirect evidence of transient liquid water on Mars has been retrieved from both rover [Martín-Torres et al. READ MORE

  4. 18. Dark Ages Lunar Interferometer - Deployment Rover : Propulsion and Steering Systems

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Victoria Birgersson; Maximillian Lundgren-Goodman; [2015]
    Keywords : NASA; DALI; rover; rymden; månen; framdrivning; styrsystem; astronomi;

    Abstract : 2030 NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory will place an interferometer, which will workas a radio telescope, on the far side of the Moon. The interferometer uses thinpolyamide films as antennas, which are rolled out by a rover (an autonomousvehicle). The thesis covers concept generation of the propulsion and steering systemof the rover. READ MORE
