Scientific paper
The paper presents work done at C. S. Draper Laboratory by five graduate and six undergraduate students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Wellesley College. The project goal is to design, build, and launch a five kilogram micro-rover to explore a planetary landing site. To date, two prototypes have been built as proofs-of-concept, and the requirements for the space-qualified vehicle have been specified. The rover is designed to be completely independent of the planetary lander. It is designed for Mars, but can be easily adapted for a Lunar mission. It is designed to survive for thirty days, travel 100 meters per day, and transmit at least two images per day back to earth. The rover can also serve as a roving platform for other scientific instruments.
