  1. 6. Simulator Design for the MMX rover

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Maxime Olivari; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Space projects involve particular strategies in system design such as simulation engineering.The french space agency uses this field of engineering in the developmentof a small vehicle (called rover) aiming to investigate one of the moons of Mars. Thecreation of this simulation environment starts with the design of its architecture. READ MORE

  3. 7. Planetary Rover Wheel and Lower Leg Structural Design to Reduce Rock Entanglements

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

    Author : Natalie Lawton; [2020]
    Keywords : Mars; rover; wheels; planetary rover wheels; flexible wheels; rigid wheels;

    Abstract : This thesis looks at the SherpaTT planetary rover. The rover is a hybrid walking and driving rover that has been developed and built by DFKI and has already been deployed on several Mars analogue field studies. The SherpaTT rover wheels were found to become entangled in rocks during the last field deployment in Morocco. READ MORE

  4. 8. Exploiting the SherpaTT Rover Active Suspension System to Enable Optimal Solar Array Inclination and Orientation for Long Traverses in a Martian Environment

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Georges Labrèche; [2020]
    Keywords : Mars; rover; active suspension system; solar array; power; energy;

    Abstract : The SherpaTT rover is prepared for further autonomous long distance traverses in terrain akin to the Martian environment. However, it features a fueled power generator which cannot be employed in extra-terrestial scenarios. READ MORE

  5. 9. Influence of the Martian regolith on the atmospheric methane and water vapour cycle

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Julian Weinmann; [2019]
    Keywords : Mars; methane; water; diffusion; regolith; adsorption; general circulation model; simulation;

    Abstract : Context. The Martian methane and water cycle are subject of ongoing research through simulation. Exchange with the subsurface has a potentially strong impact, but is often neglected. Aims. READ MORE

  6. 10. Supersonic Retro Propulsion Flight Vehicle Engineering of a Human Mission to Mars

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Hanna Marklund; [2019]
    Keywords : Supersonic retro propulsion; SRP; Mars; Human mission; Inflatable heat shield;

    Abstract : A manned Mars mission will require a substantial increase in landed mass compared to previous robotic missions, beyond the capabilities of current Entry Descent and Landing, EDL, technologies, such as blunt-body aeroshells and supersonic disk-gap-band parachutes. The heaviest payload successfully landed on Mars to date is the Mars Science Laboratory which delivered the Curiosity rover with an approximate mass of 900 kg. READ MORE
